Gravitational waveforms (2/2)
- Basics of gravitational-wave modeling; waveform models in PN theory, their
range of validity, and their use in LIGO-Virgo template banks.
- Motivations and development of the effective-one-body (EOB) formalism:
conservative dynamics.
- The effective-one-body (EOB) formalism: dissipative dynamics; inspiral-merger-
ringdown waveforms and their completion using numerical-relativity
waveforms.
- LIGO-Virgo inference studies using waveform models: science highlights on astrophysics, cosmology and tests of General Relativity.
