Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914

Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914

Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models differ from each other in their treatment of black hole spins, and all three models make some simplifying assumptions, notabl...
