Multimode frequency-domain model for the gravitational wave signal from nonprecessing black-hole binaries

2020 
We present the imrphenomxhm frequency domain phenomenological waveform model for the inspiral, merger, and ringdown of quasicircular nonprecessing black hole binaries. The model extends the imrphenomxas waveform model [G. Pratten, S. Husa, C. Garc\'{\i}a-Quir\'os, M. Colleoni, A. Ramos-Buades, H. Estell\'es, and R. Jaume, preceding paper, Phys. Rev. D 102, 064001 (2020)], which describes the dominant quadrupole modes $\ensuremath{\ell}=|m|=2$, to the harmonics $(\ensuremath{\ell},|m|)=(2,1),(3,3),(3,2),(4,4)$, and includes mode mixing effects for the (3,2) spherical harmonic. imrphenomxhm is calibrated against hybrid waveforms, which match an inspiral phase described by the effective-one-body model and post-Newtonian amplitudes for the subdominant harmonics to numerical relativity waveforms and numerical solutions to the perturbative Teukolsky equation for large mass ratios up to 1000.
