Length dependence of waveform mismatch: a caveat on waveform accuracy
The Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes Collaboration’s code SpEC can now routinely simulate binary black hole mergers undergoing orbits, with the longest sim...
Late-time tails in nonlinear evolutions of merging black holes
We uncover late-time gravitational-wave tails in fully nonlinear 3+1 dimensional numerical relativity simulations of merging black holes, using the highl...
Actions of spinning compact binaries: Spinning particle in Kerr matched to dynamics at 1.5 post-Newtonian order
The motion of compact binaries is influenced by the spin of their components starting at the 1.5 post-Newtonian (PN) order. On the other hand, in the larg...
Approximate helical symmetry in compact binaries
The inspiral of a circular, nonprecessing binary exhibits an approximate helical symmetry. The effects of eccentricity, precession, and radiation reactio...
