Fast Frequency-Domain Waveforms for Generic Spin Configurations

ORAL

Abstract

We present a family of frequency-domain gravitational waveforms for precessing binaries valid for generic spin configurations and magnitudes. These waveforms are fast to generate and provide excellent agreement with time-domain waveforms computed via a discrete Fourier transform. They can be computed for any solution of the binary's equations of motion, and provide a realistic solution for the search for generic precessing binaries in gravitational wave data analysis, due to their low computational cost.
