Gravitational-Waveform Catalog

In many purposes such as a data analysis, a modeling of the source and collaborative works, it is very important and useful to share gravitational waveforms which have been computed by a numerical relativity (NR), a post-Newtonian (PN) and an effective one-body (EOB). On this page, therefore we provide gravitational-waveform catalogs in our publications.

When you download the compressed catalog files, you will find "README" and "LICENSE" files inside the according directories. First of all, then you have to read these files before using the catalogs.
Details of each catalog are presented in the "README" file and the corresponding publications. Please refer to those.

If you have any questions or anything, please do not hesitate to contact me.

post-merger gravitational-waveforms from binary neutron stars
First Release	:	2016-05-19 ( ver. 1.0 )
Last Update	:	2016-05-19 ( ver. 1.0 )
Publications	:	Luciano Rezzolla and Kentaro Takami, "Gravitational-wave signal from binary neutron stars: A systematic analysis of the spectral properties", Phys. Rev. D., 93, 124051, 2016 ( arXiv:1604.00246 ).
Description	:	All of these simulations have been performed in full general relativity using a fourth-order finite-differencing code McLachlan. At the same time, the general-relativistic hydrodynamics equations have been solved using the finite-volume code Whisky, where "hybrid equations of states (EOSs)" combined an ideal-fluid and a piece-wise polytropes EOS for APR4, ALF2, SLy, H4 or GNH3 have been used.
