Template bank for gravitational waveforms from coalescing binary black holes: Nonspinning binaries

Abstract: Gravitational waveforms from the inspiral and ring-down stages of the binary black-hole coalescences can be modeled accurately by approximation/perturbation techniques in general relativity. Recent progress in numerical relativity has enabled us to model also the nonperturbative merger phase of the binary black-hole coalescence problem. This enables us to coherently search for all three stages of the coalescence of nonspinning binary black holes using a single template bank. Taking our motivation from these re… Show more

“…Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this approach is that despite its simplicity, it is remarkably precise in a large portion of the space of parameters, with differences from the numerical-relativity results that can be as small as ∼ 1% and of ∼ 10% at most.

“…Several groups have now generated independent numerical codes for such simulations [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19] and studied various aspects of binary black hole mergers. In the context of analyzing the resulting gravitational waveforms, these include in particular the comparisons of numerical results with post-Newtonian (PN) predictions [20,21,22,23,24,25], multipolar analyses of the emitted radiation [23,24,26], the use of numerical waveforms in data analysis [27,28,29,30] and gravitational wave emission from systems of three black holes [31].…”

“…These mass ranges include the average chirp masses obtained in population synthesis models [41], and allow for uncertainties in possible neutron star and black hole masses. For the BBH case, however, we will use the more complex functional form derived by [14] and used by [28], which includes the inspiral, merger, and ringdown contributions to the gravitational-wave signal (see [28] for more detail).…”

“…These systems generate well understood "chirp" gravitational-wave signals, which have been computed using post-Newtonian approximation [13,14] or numerical relativity simulations [15]. One can then search for the chirp signals using matched template techniques -indeed a number of such searches have been performed using LIGO and Virgo data [16][17][18].…”
