Title: High accuracy waveform models for high precision gravitational wave astronomy Abstract: Characterization of gravitational wave (GW) signals from the merger of binary black holes (BBHs) heavily rely on accurate gravitational waveform models. The most accurate way to compute waveforms is by solving the Einstein equation directly. This can only be done numerically (e.g. numerical … Continue reading "CRA Seminar: Tousif Islam (UMass-Dartmouth)"
