Catalog of 174 binary black hole simulations for gravitational wave astronomy.
This Letter 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 up to 8∶1, orbital eccentricities from a few percent to 10(-5), black hole spins up to 98% of the theoretical maximum, and radiated energies up to 11.1% of the initial mass. We establish remarkably good agreement wit...
متن کاملObservation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger
This cataclysmic event, producing the gravitational-wave signal GW150914, took place in a distant galaxy more than one billion light years from the Earth. It was observed on September 14, 2015 by the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), arguably the most sensitive scientific instruments ever constructed. LIGO estimated that the peak gravitational-wave...

متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Binary Black Hole Spacetimes and a Novel Approach to Outer Boundary Conditions
With ground-based gravitational wave detectors at design sensitivity, and a spacebased detector in planning stages, the need for accurate gravitational wave templates for signal recognition by detector pipelines has become an urgent problem. With that in mind, and the fact that binary black hole inspirals and mergers are the strongest potential source for gravitational wave signals for online d...
