"Complete" gravitational-waveform templates for black-hole binaries with non-precessing spins |
|
Abstract |
We present the first ready-to-use analytical template family of "complete" inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms to search for gravitational-wave signals from black-hole binaries with non-precessing spins. By matching a post-Newtonian description of the inspiral to a set of numerical calculations performed in full general relativity, we obtain a template family with a conveniently small number of physical parameters (total mass, symmetric mass ratio and total spin). Our phenomenological model recovers by construction the test-particle limit of the inspiral phase. We show that these waveforms are "effectual" in detection of the larger parameter space of black-hole-binary coalescence and "faithful" in estimating the parameters. |
