Computationally efficient models for the dominant and subdominant harmonic modes of precessing binary black holes

Computationally efficient models for the dominant and subdominant harmonic modes of precessing binary black holes

We present IMRPhenomXPHM, a phenomenological frequency-domain model for the gravitational-wave signal emitted by quasi-circular precessing binary black holes, which incorporates multipoles beyond the dominant quadrupole in the precessing frame. The model is a precessing extension of IMRPhenomXHM (Garc\'ia-Quir\'os 2020), based on approximate maps between aligned-spin waveform modes in the co-precessing …
