Quadrupole and quadratic-in-spin effects in quasicircular, spinning, asymmetric binaries

Mostafizur Rahman, Misbah Shahzadi, Adam Pound +1

Next-generation gravitational-wave detectors will require significant improvements in current theoretical waveform models, particularly in the case of asymmetric-mass binaries. Her…

Waveform Modelling for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna

LISA Consortium Waveform Working Group, Niayesh Afshordi, Sarp Akçay +144

LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will exp…

Post-adiabatic self-force waveforms: slowly spinning primary and precessing secondary

Josh Mathews, Barry Wardell, Adam Pound +1

Recent progress in gravitational self-force theory has led to the development of a first post-adiabatic (1PA) waveform model for nonspinning, quasicircular compact binaries [Phys.…

Post-adiabatic waveform-generation framework for asymmetric precessing binaries

Josh Mathews, Adam Pound

Recent years have seen rapid progress in calculations of gravitational waveforms from asymmetric compact binaries containing spinning secondaries. Here we outline a complete wavefo…

The Fast and the Frame-Dragging: Efficient waveforms for asymmetric-mass eccentric equatorial inspirals into rapidly-spinning black holes

Christian E. A. Chapman-Bird, Lorenzo Speri, Zachary Nasipak +13

Observations of gravitational-wave signals emitted by compact binary inspirals provide unique insights into their properties, but their analysis requires accurate and efficient wav…

Spin-aligned inspiral waveforms from self-force and post-Newtonian theory

Loïc Honet, Josh Mathews, Geoffrey Compère +5

We present the state-of-the-art waveform model WaSABI-C for quasicircular inspirals of spinning black hole binaries with aligned or anti-aligned spins. Our model synthesizes the mo…
