The SXS Collaboration catalog of binary black hole simulations

Michael Boyle, Daniel Hemberger, Dante A. B. Iozzo +37

Accurate models of gravitational waves from merging black holes are necessary for detectors to observe as many events as possible while extracting the maximum science. Near the tim…

On the properties of the massive binary black hole merger GW170729

Katerina Chatziioannou, Roberto Cotesta, Sudarshan Ghonge +53

We present a detailed investigation into the properties of GW170729, the gravitational wave with the most massive and distant source confirmed to date. We employ an extensive set o…

A Parameter Estimation Method that Directly Compares Gravitational Wave Observations to Numerical Relativity

Jacob Lange, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Michael Boyle +23

We present and assess a Bayesian method to interpret gravitational wave signals from binary black holes. Our method directly compares gravitational wave data to numerical relativit…

An improved effective-one-body model of spinning, nonprecessing binary black holes for the era of gravitational-wave astrophysics with advanced detectors

Alejandro Bohé, Lijing Shao, Andrea Taracchini +17

We improve the accuracy of the effective-one-body (EOB) waveforms that were employed during the first observing run of Advanced LIGO for binaries of spinning, nonprecessing black h…

Complete waveform model for compact binaries on eccentric orbits

E. A. Huerta, Prayush Kumar, Bhanu Agarwal +11

We present a time domain waveform model that describes the inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) of compact binary systems whose components are non-spinning, and which evolve on orbits wi…

Accuracy of binary black hole waveform models for aligned-spin binaries

Prayush Kumar, Tony Chu, Heather Fong +6

Coalescing binary black holes are among the primary science targets for second generation ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors. Reliable GW models are central to detectio…
