Matching post-Newtonian and numerical relativity waveforms: systematic errors and a new phenomenological model for non-precessing black hole binaries
L. Santamaria, F. Ohme, P. Ajith +10
We present a new phenomenological gravitational waveform model for the inspiral and coalescence of non-precessing spinning black hole binaries. Our approach is based on a frequency…
Inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms for black-hole binaries with non-precessing spins
P. Ajith, M. Hannam, S. Husa +9
We present the first analytical inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveforms from binary black holes (BBHs) with non-precessing spins, that is based on a description of the lat…
Gravitational-wave detectability of equal-mass black-hole binaries with aligned spins
Christian Reisswig, Sascha Husa, Luciano Rezzolla +3
Binary black-hole systems with spins aligned or anti-aligned to the orbital angular momentum provide the natural ground to start detailed studies of the influence of strong-field s…
Status of NINJA: the Numerical INJection Analysis project
Benjamin Aylott, John G. Baker, William D. Boggs +74
The 2008 NRDA conference introduced the Numerical INJection Analysis project (NINJA), a new collaborative effort between the numerical relativity community and the data analysis co…
Predicting the direction of the final spin from the coalescence of two black holes
Enrico Barausse, Luciano Rezzolla
Knowledge of the spin of the black hole resulting from the merger of a generic black-hole binary is of great importance for studying the cosmological evolution of supermassive blac…
Testing gravitational-wave searches with numerical relativity waveforms: Results from the first Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project
Benjamin Aylott, John G. Baker, William D. Boggs +74
The Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project is a collaborative effort between members of the numerical relativity and gravitational-wave data analysis communities. The purpose…
Constraint-preserving boundary treatment for a harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations
Jennifer Seiler, Bela Szilagyi, Denis Pollney +1
We present a set of well-posed constraint-preserving boundary conditions for a first-order in time, second-order in space, harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations. The bound…
The final spin from the coalescence of aligned-spin black-hole binaries
Luciano Rezzolla, Peter Diener, Ernst Nils Dorband +4
Determining the final spin of a black-hole (BH) binary is a question of key importance in astrophysics. Modelling this quantity in general is made difficult by the fact that it dep…
