Ineffectiveness of Padé resummation techniques in post-Newtonian approximations
Abdul H. Mroué, Lawrence E. Kidder, Saul A. Teukolsky
We test the resummation techniques used in developing Padé and Effective One Body (EOB) waveforms for gravitational wave detection. Convergence tests show that Padé approximants of…
Initial data for black hole-neutron star binaries: a flexible, high-accuracy spectral method
Francois Foucart, Lawrence E. Kidder, Harald P. Pfeiffer +1
We present a new numerical scheme to solve the initial value problem for black hole-neutron star binaries. This method takes advantage of the flexibility and fast convergence of a…
High accuracy simulations of Kerr tails: coordinate dependence and higher multipoles
Manuel Tiglio, Lawrence Kidder, Saul Teukolsky
We investigate the late time behavior of a scalar field on a fixed Kerr background using a 2+1 dimensional pseudospectral evolution code. We compare evolutions of pure axisymmetric…
Using Full Information When Computing Modes of Post-Newtonian Waveforms From Inspiralling Compact Binaries in Circular Orbit
Lawrence E. Kidder
The increasing sophistication and accuracy of numerical simulations of compact binaries (especially binary black holes) presents the opportunity to test the regime in which post-Ne…
Reducing orbital eccentricity in binary black hole simulations
Harald P. Pfeiffer, Duncan A. Brown, Lawrence E. Kidder +3
Binary black hole simulations starting from quasi-circular (i.e., zero radial velocity) initial data have orbits with small but non-zero orbital eccentricities. In this paper the q…
