Comparing effective-one-body Hamiltonians for spin-aligned coalescing binaries
TEOBResumS and SEOBNRv4 are the two existing semianalytical gravitational waveform models for spin-aligned coalescing black hole binaries based on the effective-one-body (EOB) approach. They are informed by numerical relativity simulations and provide the relative dynamics and waveforms from early inspiral to plunge, merger, and ringdown. The central building block of …
