Assessing the model waveform accuracy of gravitational waves

Hu, Qian, Veitch, John

Understand

With the improvement in sensitivity of gravitational wave (GW) detectors and the increasing diversity of GW sources, there is a strong need for accurate GW waveform models for data analysis.

While the current model accuracy assessments require waveforms generated by numerical relativity (NR) simulations as the "true waveforms", in this paper we propose an assessment approach that does not require NR simulations, which enables us to assess model accuracy everywhere in the parameter space.
By measuring the difference between two waveform models, we derive a necessary condition for a pair of waveform models to both be accurate, for a particular set of parameters.
We then apply this method to the parameter estimation samples of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalogs GWTC-3 and GWTC-2.1, and find that the waveform accuracy for high signal-to-noise ratio events in some cases fails our assessment criterion.
