Stability of nonspinning effective-one-body model in approximating two-body dynamics and gravitational-wave emission
Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno, Andrea Taracchini +7
The detection of gravitational waves and the extraction of physical information from them requires the prediction of accurate waveforms to be used in template banks. For that purpo…
Effective-one-body model for black-hole binaries with generic mass ratios and spins
Andrea Taracchini, Alessandra Buonanno, Yi Pan +11
Gravitational waves emitted by black-hole binary systems have the highest signal-to-noise ratio in LIGO and Virgo detectors when black-hole spins are aligned with the orbital angul…
Template Banks for Binary black hole searches with Numerical Relativity waveforms
Prayush Kumar, Ilana MacDonald, Duncan A. Brown +8
Gravitational waves (GW) from coalescing stellar-mass black hole binaries (BBH) are expected to be detected by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory and…
First direct comparison of non-disrupting neutron star-black hole and binary black hole merger simulations
Francois Foucart, Luisa Buchman, Matthew D. Duez +7
We present the first direct comparison of numerical simulations of neutron star-black hole and black hole-black hole mergers in full general relativity. We focus on a configuration…
Inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms of spinning, precessing black-hole binaries in the effective-one-body formalism
Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno, Andrea Taracchini +5
We describe a general procedure to generate spinning, precessing waveforms that include inspiral, merger and ringdown stages in the effective-one-body (EOB) approach. The procedure…
A catalog of 174 binary black-hole simulations for gravitational-wave astronomy
Abdul H. Mroue, Mark A. Scheel, Bela Szilagyi +14
This paper presents a publicly available catalog of 174 numerical binary black-hole simulations following up to 35 orbits. The catalog includes 91 precessing binaries, mass ratios…
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…
Periastron Advance in Black-Hole Binaries
Alexandre Le Tiec, Abdul H. Mroué, Leor Barack +4
The general relativistic (Mercury-type) periastron advance is calculated here for the first time with exquisite precision in full general relativity. We use accurate numerical rela…
Discontinuous Galerkin method for the spherically reduced BSSN system with second-order operators
Scott E. Field, Jan S. Hesthaven, Stephen R. Lau +1
We present a high-order accurate discontinuous Galerkin method for evolving the spherically-reduced Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura (BSSN) system expressed in terms of second-or…
High-accuracy numerical simulation of black-hole binaries: Computation of the gravitational-wave energy flux and comparisons with post-Newtonian approximants
Michael Boyle, Alessandra Buonanno, Lawrence E. Kidder +4
Expressions for the gravitational wave (GW) energy flux and center-of-mass energy of a compact binary are integral building blocks of post-Newtonian (PN) waveforms. In this paper,…
High-accuracy comparison of numerical relativity simulations with post-Newtonian expansions
Michael Boyle, Duncan A. Brown, Lawrence E. Kidder +5
Numerical simulations of 15 orbits of an equal-mass binary black hole system are presented. Gravitational waveforms from these simulations, covering more than 30 cycles and ending…
