Targeted numerical simulations of binary black holes for GW170104
James Healy, Jacob Lange, Richard O'Shaughnessy +22
In response to LIGO's observation of GW170104, we performed a series of full numerical simulations of binary black holes, each designed to replicate likely realizations of its dyna…
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…
Numerical binary black hole mergers in dynamical Chern-Simons: I. Scalar field
Maria Okounkova, Leo C. Stein, Mark A. Scheel +1
Testing general relativity in the non-linear, dynamical, strong-field regime of gravity is one of the major goals of gravitational wave astrophysics. Performing precision tests of…
A Surrogate Model of Gravitational Waveforms from Numerical Relativity Simulations of Precessing Binary Black Hole Mergers
Jonathan Blackman, Scott E. Field, Mark A. Scheel +4
We present the first surrogate model for gravitational waveforms from the coalescence of precessing binary black holes. We call this surrogate model NRSur4d2s. Our methodology sign…
