AbstractUsing a Monte Carlo simulation of the modern scenario of the evolution of binary systems (the “Scenario Machine”), we calculate the number of binary black holes with Be stars and their expected observational properties. So far, only two possible candidates for Be/BH binaries have been proposed among the observable sources, the superluminal source GRS 1915+105 in the Galaxy and RX J0117.6–7330 in the SMC. We obtained an evolutionary track that can lead to the formation of such systems. The modern evolutionary scenario predicts the existence of binary black holes on eccentric orbits around Be stars and such systems may be discovered in the near future.

Over the last decade gravitational waveforms of binary black holes have been investigated using a variety of approaches like the Multipolar post-Minkowskian formalism, Numerical Relativity and the Effective-One-Body method. We review these complementary approaches and summarize the current status of these investigations of relevance to construct the best templates for the next generation Advanced gravitational wave detectors.

Abstract We have previously constructed a waveform model, SEOBNRE, for spinning binary black hole moving along eccentric orbit based on effective-one-body (EOB) formalism. In the current paper, we update SEOBNRE waveform model in the following three respects. Firstly, we update the EOB dynamics from SEOBNRv1 to SEOBNRv4. Secondly we properly treat the Schott term which has been ignored in previous SEOBNRE. Thirdly, we construct a new factorized waveform including (l,|m|)=(2,2),(2,1),(3,3),(4,4) modes based on effective-one-body (EOB) formalism, which is valid for spinning binary black holes (BBH) in general equatorial orbit. Following our previous SEOBNRE waveform model, we call our new waveform model SEOBNREHM. The (l,|m|)=(2,2) mode waveform of SEOBNREHM can fit the original SEOBNRv4 waveform very well in the case of a quasi-circular orbit. We have validated SEOBNREHM waveform model through comparing the waveform against the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) catalog. The comparison is done for BBH with total mass in (20,200)M_sun using Advanced LIGO designed sensitivity. For the quasi-circular cases we have compared our (2,2) mode waveforms to the 281 numerical relativity (NR) simulations of BBH along quasi-circular orbits. All of the matching factors are bigger than 98\%. For the elliptical cases, 24 numerical relativity simulations of BBH along an elliptic orbit are used. For each elliptical BBH system, we compare our modeled gravitational polarizations against the NR results for different combinations of the inclination angle, the initial orbit phase and the source localization in the sky. We use the minimal matching factor respect to the inclination angle, the initial orbit phase and the source localization to quantify the performance of the higher modes waveform. We found that after introducing the higher modes, the minimum of the minimal matching factor among the 24 tested elliptical BBHs increases from 90\% to 98\%. Our SEOBNREHM waveform model can match all tested 305 SXS waveforms better than 98\% including highly spinning ($\chi=0.99$) BBH, highly eccentric ($e\approx0.6$ at reference frequency $Mf_0=0.002$) BBH and large mass ratio ($q=10$) BBH.
