In this work we present IMRPhenomTP, a time domain phenomenological model for the dominant $l=2$, $m=|2|$ modes of coalescing black hole binary systems and its extension to describe general precessing systems within the twisting up approximation. The underlying non-precessing model is calibrated to the new release of Numerical Relativity simulations of the SXS Collaboration and its accuracy is comparable to the state-of-the-art non-precessing dominant mode models as IMRPhenomX and SEOBNRv4. The precessing extension allows for flexibility choosing the Euler angles of the time-dependent rotation between the co-precessing and the inertial reference systems, including the single spin NNLO and the double spin MSA PN descriptions present in other models, numerical integration of the orbit averaged spin evolution equations, different choices for the evolution of the orbital angular momentum norm and a simple approximation to the ringdown behaviour.

In this work we present an extension of the time domain phenomenological model IMRPhenomT for gravitational wave signals from binary black hole coalescences to include subdominant harmonics, specifically the $(l=2, m=pm 1)$, $(l=3, m=pm 3)$, $(l=4, m =pm 4)$ and $(l=5, m=pm 5)$ spherical harmonics. We also improve our model for the dominant $(l=2, m=pm 2)$ mode and discuss mode mixing for the $(l=3, m=pm 2)$ mode. The model is calibrated to numerical relativity solutions of the full Einstein equations up to mass ratio 18, and to numerical solutions of the Teukolsky equations for higher mass ratios. This work complements the latest generation of traditional frequency domain phenomenological models (IMRPhenomX), and provides new avenues to develop computationally efficient models for gravitational wave signals from generic compact binaries.

When two black holes merge, a tremendous amount of energy is released in the form of gravitational radiation in a short span of time, making such events among the most luminous phenomenon in the universe. Models that predict the peak luminosity of bl ack hole mergers are of interest to the gravitational wave community, with potential applications in tests of general relativity. We present a surrogate model for the peak luminosity that is directly trained on numerical relativity simulations of precessing binary black holes. Using Gaussian process regression, we interpolate the peak luminosity in the 7-dimensional parameter space of precessing binaries with mass ratios $qleq4$, and spin magnitudes $chi_1,chi_2leq0.8$. We demonstrate that our errors in estimating the peak luminosity are lower than those of existing fitting formulae by about an order of magnitude. In addition, we construct a model for the peak luminosity of aligned-spin binaries with mass ratios $qleq8$, and spin magnitudes $|chi_{1z}|,|chi_{2z}|leq0.8$. We apply our precessing model to infer the peak luminosity of the GW event GW190521, and find the results to be consistent with previous predictions.

Gravitational waveforms from the inspiral and ring-down stages of the binary black hole coalescences can be modelled accurately by approximation/perturbation techniques in general relativity. Recent progress in numerical relativity has enabled us to model also the non-perturbative merger phase of the binary black-hole coalescence problem. This enables us to emph{coherently} search for all three stages of the coalescence of non-spinning binary black holes using a single template bank. Taking our motivation from these results, we propose a family of template waveforms which can model the inspiral, merger, and ring-down stages of the coalescence of non-spinning binary black holes that follow quasi-circular inspiral. This two-dimensional template family is explicitly parametrized by the physical parameters of the binary. We show that the template family is not only emph{effectual} in detecting the signals from black hole coalescences, but also emph{faithful} in estimating the parameters of the binary. We compare the sensitivity of a search (in the context of different ground-based interferometers) using all three stages of the black hole coalescence with other template-based searches which look for individual stages separately. We find that the proposed search is significantly more sensitive than other template-based searches for a substantial mass-range, potentially bringing about remarkable improvement in the event-rate of ground-based interferometers. As part of this work, we also prescribe a general procedure to construct interpolated template banks using non-spinning black hole waveforms produced by numerical relativity.
We demonstrate the implementation of a sensitive search pipeline for gravitational waves from coalescing binary black holes whose components have spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum. We study the pipeline recovery of simulated gravitation al wave signals from aligned-spin binary black holes added to real detector noise, comparing the pipeline performance with aligned-spin filter templates to the same pipeline with non-spinning filter templates. Our results exploit a three-parameter phenomenological waveform family that models the full inspiral-merger-ringdown coalescence and treats the effect of aligned spins with a single effective spin parameter chi. We construct template banks from these waveforms by a stochastic placement method and use these banks as filters in the recently-developed gstlal search pipeline. We measure the observable volume of the analysis pipeline for binary black hole signals with total mass in [15,25] solar masses and chi in [0, 0.85]. We find an increase in observable volume of up to 45% for systems with 0.2 <= chi <= 0.85 with almost no loss of sensitivity to signals with 0 <= chi <= 0.2. We demonstrate this analysis on 25.9 days of data obtained from the Hanford and Livingston detectors in LIGOs fifth observation run.
Gravitational waves detected by advanced ground-based detectors have allowed studying the universe in a way which is fully complementary to electromagnetic observations. As more sources are detected, it will be possible to measure properties of the l ocal population of black holes and neutron stars, including their mass and spin distributions. Once at design sensitivity, existing instruments will be able to detect heavy binary black holes at redshifts of $sim 1$. Significant upgrades in the current facilities could increase the sensitivity by another factor of few, further extending reach and signal-to-noise ratio. More is required to access the most remote corners of the universe. Third-generation gravitational-wave detectors have been proposed, which could observe most of the binary black holes merging anywhere in the universe. In this paper we check if and to which extent it makes sense to keep previous-generation detectors up and running once a significantly more sensitive detector is online. First, we focus on a population of binary black holes with redshifts distributed uniformly in comoving volume. We show that measurement of extrinsic parameters, such as sky position, inclination and luminosity distance can significantly benefit from the presence of a less sensitive detector. Conversely, intrinsic parameters such as emph{detector-frame} masses and spins are largely unaffected. Measurement of the emph{source-frame masses} is instead improved, owing to the improvement of the distance measurement. Then, we focus on nearby events. We simulated sources similar to GW150914 and GW151226 and check how well their parameters can be measured by various networks. Here too we find that the main difference is a better estimation of the sky position, although even a single triangular-shaped third-generation detector can estimate their sky position to 1~deg$^2$ or better.
