SUMMARY:Frequency domain reduced order models for gravitational waves from
  aligned-spin black-hole binaries - Michael Puerrer (University of Cardiff

DESCRIPTION:Black-hole binary coalescences are one of the most promising s
 ources for the first detection of gravitational waves. Fast and accurate t
 heoretical models of the gravitational radiation emitted from these coales
 cences are highly important for the detection and extraction of physical p
 arameters. Spinning effective-one-body models for binaries with spins alig
 ned with the orbital angular momentum have high fidelity in terms of "fait
 hfulness"\, but are slow to generate and thus have not yet been used to bu
 ild template banks or for parameter estimation studies. With a view toward
 s these applications I provide a frequency-domain reduced order model that
  is thousands to hundreds of thousands times faster for typical system mas
 ses and has a faithfulness mismatch of better than ~ 0.001 with the origin
 al SEOBNRv1 model for advanced LIGO detectors.
