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…
Error quantification and comparison of binary neutron star gravitational waveforms from numerical relativity codes
Sarah Habib, Elias R. Most, Nils Deppe +11
Future gravitational wave detections of merging binary neutron star systems have the possibility to tightly constrain the equation of state of dense nuclear matter. In order to ext…
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…
The SXS Collaboration's third catalog of binary black hole simulations
Mark A. Scheel, Michael Boyle, Keefe Mitman +56
We present a major update to the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) Collaboration's catalog of binary black hole simulations. Using highly efficient spectral methods implemented i…
Modeling the BMS transformation induced by a binary black hole merger
Guido Da Re, Keefe Mitman, Leo C. Stein +12
Understanding the characteristics of the remnant black hole formed in a binary black hole merger is crucial for conducting gravitational wave astronomy. Typically, models of remnan…
Probing the ringdown perturbation in binary black hole coalescences with an improved quasi-normal mode extraction algorithm
Keefe Mitman, Isabella Pretto, Harrison Siegel +9
Using gravitational waves to probe the geometry of the ringing remnant black hole formed in a binary black hole coalescence is a well-established way to test Einstein's theory of g…
