We present IMRPhenomTPHM, a phenomenological model for the gravitational wave signals emitted by the coalescence of quasi-circular precessing binary black holes systems. The model is based on the "twisting up" approximation, which maps non-precessing signals to precessing ones in terms of a time dependent rotation described by three Euler angles, and which has been utilized in several frequency domain waveform models that have become standard tools in gravitational wave data analysis. Our model is however constructed in the time domain, which allows several improvements over the frequency domain models: we do not use the stationary phase approximation, we employ a simple approximation for the precessing Euler angles for the ringdown signal, and we implement a new method for computing the Euler angles through the evolution of the spin dynamics of the system, which is more accurate and also computationally efficient.

  1. Identifying lensed gravitational waves with physics-informed posterior learning

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fusing a simulation-trained common-source mass posterior with waveform features raises lensed-event detection efficiency from 20.8% to 35.2% at 1% false-positive rate and lowers the SNR for 50% efficiency from 45.3 to 33.5.

  2. Impact of numerical-relativity waveform calibration on parametrized post-Einsteinian tests

    gr-qc 2026-03 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    NR late-inspiral calibration systematics in IMRPhenomD produce false ppE GR violations at O5 SNRs ≳60; an uncertainty-aware baseline restores consistency with GR up to SNR 330.

  3. Advancing the Effective-One-Body Framework in the Test-Mass Limit

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SEOB-TML cuts dephasing by up to an order of magnitude in the test-mass limit by Q-factorizing the flux (including horizon absorption) and by modeling mode mixing with extracted QNM coefficients.

  4. TDI on the fly

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A sparse-sampling algorithm computes TDI response for any gravitational waveform on a coarse grid, reducing cost by roughly 10^4 while matching full-cadence results.

  5. A stepping stone toward detecting gravitational wave memory: a cumulative analysis with the full $(\ell=2, m=0)$ spherical harmonic using events from GWTC-4.0 and GWTC-5.0

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    Cumulative log10 Bayes factor of 1.38±0.79 favors the full (2,0) mode in GWTC-4.0; decisive evidence is projected to need ~166 events under optimistic assumptions.

  6. AthenaK simulations of the binary black hole merger GW150914

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new open-source GPU code, AthenaK, reproduces the GW150914 merger: remnant mass within 0.01%, spin within 0.02%, and waveform phase within about 0.35 radians of established simulations.

  7. PhenomXPNR: An improved gravitational wave model linking precessing inspirals and NR-calibrated merger-ringdown

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    PhenomXPNR is a fast frequency-domain gravitational-wave template for spinning black-hole mergers that combines post-Newtonian inspiral precession with numerical-relativity-calibrated merger and ringdown.
