In a single process, the merger of binary neutron star systems combines extreme gravity, the
copious emission of gravitational waves, complex microphysics and electromagnetic …

Gravitational wave detectors are already operating at interesting sensitivity levels, and they
have an upgrade path that should result in secure detections by 2014. We review the …

The second LIGO–Virgo catalog of gravitational-wave (GW) transients has more than
quadrupled the observational sample of binary black holes. We analyze this catalog using a …

Abstract We describe the Einstein Toolkit, a community-driven, freely accessible
computational infrastructure intended for use in numerical relativity, relativistic astrophysics …

We present the first analytical inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveforms from binary
black holes (BBHs) with nonprecessing spins, that is based on a description of the late …

This fourth release of the RIT public catalog of numerical relativity black-hole-binary
waveforms consists of 1881 accurate simulations that include 446 precessing and 611 …

We present a new phenomenological gravitational waveform model for the inspiral and
coalescence of nonprecessing spinning black hole binaries. Our approach is based on a …

Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are among the most luminous explosions in the universe,
releasing in less than one second the energy emitted by our Galaxy over one year. Despite …

Extending previous work by a number of authors, we have recently presented a new
approach in which the detection of gravitational waves from merging neutron star binaries …

Gravitational waveforms from the inspiral and ring-down stages of the binary black-hole
coalescences can be modeled accurately by approximation/perturbation techniques in …
