About Us

GW-Models is a project centered around the effort to describe the inspiral, merger and ringdown of binary black holes - an important source for gravitational waves.

Large scale numerical simulations in full general relativity are combined with perturbative approximations to produce analytical waveform models and study their impact on gravitational wave astronomy.
