The High-Mass-Ratio Challenge in Gravitational Waveform Modelling
Parthapratim Mahapatra, Jonathan E. Thompson, Edward Fauchon-Jones +1
Binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected via gravitational waves are addressing key open questions in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. Our scientific conclusions r…
PhenomXPNR: An improved gravitational wave model linking precessing inspirals and NR-calibrated merger-ringdown
Eleanor Hamilton, Marta Colleoni, Jonathan E. Thompson +10
We present the frequency-domain quasi-circular precessing binary-black-hole model PhenomXPNR. This model combines the most precise available post-Newtonian description of the evolu…
On the use and interpretation of signal-model indistinguishability measures for gravitational-wave astronomy
Jonathan E. Thompson, Charlie Hoy, Edward Fauchon-Jones +1
The difference ("mismatch") between two gravitational-wave (GW) signals is often used to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at which they will be distinguishable in a measure…
Impact of anti-symmetric contributions to signal multipoles in the measurement of black-hole spins
Panagiota Kolitsidou, Jonathan E. Thompson, Mark Hannam
Many current models for the gravitational-wave signal from precessing black-hole binaries neglect an asymmetry in the multipoles. The asymmetry is weak, but is responsible…
PhenomXO4a: a phenomenological gravitational-wave model for precessing black-hole binaries with higher multipoles and asymmetries
Jonathan E. Thompson, Eleanor Hamilton, Lionel London +4
In this work we introduce PhenomXO4a, the first phenomenological, frequency-domain gravitational waveform model to incorporate multipole asymmetries and precession angles tuned to…
Waveform Modelling for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
LISA Consortium Waveform Working Group, Niayesh Afshordi, Sarp Akçay +144
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will exp…
