Suitability of hybrid gravitational waveforms for unequal-mass binaries
Ilana MacDonald, Abdul H. Mroue, Harald P. Pfeiffer +5
This article studies sufficient accuracy criteria of hybrid post-Newtonian (PN) and numerical relativity (NR) waveforms for parameter estimation of strong binary black-hole sources…
Are different approaches to constructing initial data for binary black hole simulations of the same astrophysical situation equivalent?
Bryant Garcia, Geoffrey Lovelace, Lawrence E. Kidder +4
Initial data for numerical evolutions of binary-black holes have been dominated by "conformally flat" (CF) data (i.e., initial data where the conformal background metric is chosen…
Prototype effective-one-body model for nonprecessing spinning inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms
Andrea Taracchini, Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno +6
We first use five non-spinning and two mildly spinning (chi_i \simeq -0.44, +0.44) numerical-relativity waveforms of black-hole binaries and calibrate an effective-one-body (EOB) m…
The NINJA-2 catalog of hybrid post-Newtonian/numerical-relativity waveforms for non-precessing black-hole binaries
P. Ajith, Michael Boyle, Duncan A. Brown +45
The Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project is a collaborative effort between members of the numerical relativity and gravitational wave data analysis communities. The purpose…
