NRSur7dq4v2: A multi-domain precessing surrogate model with improved accuracy
Abhishek Ravishankar, Vijay Varma, Scott E. Field +5
Numerical relativity simulations provide the most accurate waveforms for binary black hole coalescences, but are prohibitively expensive for direct use in gravitational-wave data a…
Fast, accurate, and differentiable: a neural-network surrogate for NRSur7dq4 precessing binary black hole waveforms
Michael Pürrer, Ashwin Girish, Lucy M. Thomas +2
We present a neural network surrogate model that emulates the NRSur7dq4 gravitational waveform model for precessing binary black hole mergers. The surrogate decomposes the waveform…
Merger remnant and eccentricity dynamics surrogates for eccentric nonspinning black hole binaries
Adhrit Ravichandran, Peter James Nee, Keefe Mitman +22
Accurate models of merger remnants are increasingly important for gravitational-wave science, including precision tests of gravity with ringdown, inference of black-hole population…
Including higher-order modes in a quadrupolar eccentric numerical relativity surrogate using universal eccentric modulation functions
Tousif Islam, Adhrit Ravichandran, Peter James Nee +15
\texttt{gwNRHME} is a framework that converts multi-modal (i.e., containing several spherical harmonic modes) quasi-circular waveforms into their eccentric counterparts, provided t…
Eccentric binary black holes: A new framework for numerical relativity waveform surrogates
Peter James Nee, Adhrit Ravichandran, Scott E. Field +17
Mounting evidence indicates that some of the gravitational wave signals observed by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observatories might arise from eccentric compact object binaries, increasin…
Chase Orbits, not Time: A Scalable Paradigm for Long-Duration Eccentric Gravitational-Wave Surrogates
Akash Maurya, Prayush Kumar, Scott E. Field +6
Orbital eccentricity is a key tracer of the astrophysical origins of compact binaries. Yet it remains absent from routine LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA analyses, in part because of the prohibit…
Defining eccentricity for spin-precessing binaries
Md Arif Shaikh, Vijay Varma, Antoni Ramos-Buades +4
Standardizing the definition of eccentricity is necessary for unambiguous inference of the orbital eccentricity of compact binaries from gravitational wave observations. In previou…
