Comparison of search templates for gravitational waves from binary inspiral
Comparison of search templates for gravitational waves from binary inspiral
We compare the performances of the templates defined by three different types of approaches: traditional post-Newtonian templates (Taylor approximants), ``resummed'' post-Newtonian templates assuming the adiabatic approximation and stopping before the plunge $(P$ approximants), and further ``resummed'' post-Newtonian templates going beyond the adiabatic approximation and incorporating the plunge with its transition …
