Supermomentum balance laws as a tool to improve gravitational waveforms
ORAL
Abstract
Current non-precessing gravitational waveform models do not (reliably) incorporate the $(2,0)$ mode. This difficulty, in part, is due to the challenges of numerically extracting this mode accurately. However for future detectors this must be rectified. We present a technique based on supermomentum balance laws at null infinity which can be used to improve the $(2,0)$ mode waveforms. We apply this to SXS binary black hole simulations and find a significant improvement.
