abstract

Effective-one-body (EOB) models are based on analytical building blocks that, mathematically, are truncated Taylor series with logarithms. These functions are usually resummed using Pad\'e approximants obtained first assuming that the logarithms are constant, and then replacing them back into the resulting rational functions. A recent study pointed out that this procedure introduces spurious logarithmic terms when the resummed functions are reexpanded. Here we update the TEOBResumS-Dal\'i waveform model for spin-aligned, noncircularized coalescing black hole binaries by systematically implementing new (still Pad\'e based) resummations for all EOB functions (that is, the metric potentials $A, D$ and the residual waveform amplitude corrections $\rho_{\ell m}$ up to $\ell=8$). Once the model is informed by 50 Numerical Relativity simulations, this new approach proves key in lowering the maximum EOB/NR unfaithfulness $\bar{F}_{\rm EOBNR}^{\rm max}$ for the $\ell=m=2$ mode (with the Advanced LIGO noise in the total mass range $10-200M_{\odot}$) over 530 spin-aligned waveforms of the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes catalog. A median unfaithfulness equal to $3.09\times 10^{-4}$ is achieved, which is a marked improvement over the previous value, $1.06\times 10^{-3}$. The largest value, ${\rm Max}[\bar{F}^{\rm max}_{\rm EOBNR}]= 6.80\times 10^{-3}$, is found for an equal-mass, equal-spin simulation with dimensionless spins $\sim +0.998$; only five configurations have $\bar{F}^{\rm max}_{\rm EOBNR} > 5\times 10^{-3}$ (four of which equal-mass and with equal spins larger than $\sim +0.98$). Results for eccentric binaries are similarly excellent (well below $10^{-2}$ and mostly around $10^{-3}$).

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new resummation absorbs all test-mass logarithms and transcendental numbers into closed-form factors, leaving rational polynomial waveform corrections up to 10PN.

  3. Assessing the waveform systematics from parameter estimation to population inference with eccentricity

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Eccentric waveform-model differences, small per event, accumulate across the GWTC-4 catalog and alter inferred redshift evolution and effective-spin population distributions.

    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.

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An extended gravitational-wave amplitude test adds (4,4) and (3,2) modes, reports a new δA44 constraint from GW230814, and shows precession and eccentricity can mimic GR violations.

  6. Improved post-Newtonian waveform model for inspiralling precessing-eccentric compact binaries

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper presents pyEFPE, a validated and publicly available frequency-domain post-Newtonian waveform model for inspiralling precessing-eccentric compact binaries, with up to about a fifteen-fold speedup.

    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.

    Using a waveform model that includes both eccentricity and spin precession, the authors confirm GW150914 was a quasi-circular, slowly spinning black hole merger, with eccentricity below 0.08 at 15 Hz.
