Modelling gravitational waves from precessing black-hole binaries: Progress, challenges and prospects
Mark Hannam
The inspiral and merger of two orbiting black holes is among the most promising sources for the first (hopefully imminent) direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs), and measur…
A simple model of complete precessing black-hole-binary gravitational waveforms
Mark Hannam, Patricia Schmidt, Alejandro Bohé +5
The construction of a model of the gravitational-wave (GW) signal from generic configurations of spinning-black-hole binaries, through inspiral, merger and ringdown, is one of the…
Error-analysis and comparison to analytical models of numerical waveforms produced by the NRAR Collaboration
Ian Hinder, Alessandra Buonanno, Michael Boyle +53
The Numerical-Relativity-Analytical-Relativity (NRAR) collaboration is a joint effort between members of the numerical relativity, analytical relativity and gravitational-wave data…
Testing the validity of the single-spin approximation in inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms
Michael Pürrer, Mark Hannam, P. Ajith +1
Gravitational-wave signals from black-hole binaries with non-precessing spins are described by four parameters -- each black hole's mass and spin. It has been shown that the domina…
Prospects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1319
We present our current best estimate of the plausible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next several years,…
When can gravitational-wave observations distinguish between black holes and neutron stars?
Mark Hannam, Duncan A. Brown, Stephen Fairhurst +2
Gravitational-wave observations of compact binaries have the potential to uncover the distribution of masses and angular momenta of black holes and neutron stars in the universe. T…
