Improved Cauchy-characteristic evolution system for high-precision numerical relativity waveforms
read the original abstract
We present several improvements to the Cauchy-characteristic evolution procedure that generates high-fidelity gravitational waveforms at $\mathcal{I}^+$ from numerical relativity simulations. Cauchy-characteristic evolution combines an interior solution of the Einstein field equations based on Cauchy slices with an exterior solution based on null slices that extend to $\mathcal{I}^+$. The foundation of our improved algorithm is a comprehensive method of handling the gauge transformations between the arbitrarily specified coordinates of the interior Cauchy evolution and the unique (up to BMS transformations) Bondi-Sachs coordinate system of the exterior characteristic evolution. We present a reformulated set of characteristic evolution equations better adapted to numerical implementation. In addition, we develop a method to ensure that the angular coordinates used in the volume during the characteristic evolution are asymptotically inertial. This provides a direct route to an expanded set of waveform outputs and is guaranteed to avoid pure-gauge logarithmic dependence that has caused trouble for previous spectral implementations of the characteristic evolution equations. We construct a set of Weyl scalars compatible with the Bondi-like coordinate systems used in characteristic evolution, and determine simple, easily implemented forms for the asymptotic Weyl scalars in our suggested set of coordinates.

Convergence of post-Newtonian for quasi-circular non-precessing comparable mass ratios BBHs
For orbital velocities below 0.45, PN energy flux agreement with NR improves up to incomplete 6PN with non-monotonic behavior, but convergence is lost near v approximately 0.5.

Fixing the center-of-mass frame of numerical relativity waveforms using the post-Newtonian center-of-mass charge
A post-Newtonian model of the boosted center-of-mass charge makes BMS frame-fixing of nonprecessing, unequal-mass NR waveforms less sensitive to the fitting window, reducing parameter variance by up to ~25x.

Constraining Gravitational Wave Memory with Hierarchical Inference
Hierarchical Bayesian inference on GWTC-5.0 constrains the memory enhancement factor to 0.26 with large uncertainties consistent with the GR value of 1 and forecasts that 2000 detections are needed for a 1σ constraint...
