Waveform accuracy and systematic uncertainties in current gravitational wave observations
Waveform accuracy and systematic uncertainties in current gravitational wave observations
The post-Newtonian formalism plays an integral role in the models used to extract information from gravitational wave data, but models that incorporate this formalism are inherently approximations. Disagreement between an approximate model and nature will produce mismodeling biases in the parameters inferred from data, introducing systematic error. We here carry …
