Introduction to Modelling Gravitational Waves from Compact Binaries
Offered By: Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fundamentals of modelling gravitational waves from compact binaries in this comprehensive tutorial presented by Patricia Schmidt from the University of Birmingham. Delve into the semi-analytic models crucial for detecting gravitational waves and inferring source properties. Gain insights into various techniques used to model signals from merging compact binaries, including black holes and neutron stars. Examine the current state-of-the-art waveforms employed in data analysis applications. Cover topics such as the two-body problem, gravitational wave tools, numerical relativity, freeform families, Hamiltonian, EOB, hybrid waveforms, and numerical relativity surrogates. Enhance your understanding of this cutting-edge field in gravitational wave astronomy through this in-depth, 84-minute lecture recorded during IPAM's Mathematical and Computational Challenges in the Era of Gravitational Wave Astronomy Tutorial.
