🎉 Happy paper publication day! 🎉 Our third catalog of binary black hole simulations, now published in Classical and Quantum Gravity. And it's open access! Scheel et al. 2025 Class. Quantum Grav. 42 195017 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… Also on the @arxiv at arxiv.org/abs/2505.13378

We are excited to release a major update to our catalog of binary black hole simulations, available at arxiv.org/abs/2505.13378! Such simulations are key to LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA being able to extract science from their gravitational wave detections. 1/14










@StartsWithABang @vuartsci @AstroKPJ @ego_virgo @KAGRA_PR The loudest #GravitationalWave in #GWTC4 is #GW230814 Detected with only @LIGOLA it was about twice as loud as GW150914! Being loud should enable precision tests of general relativity, but with only one detector, you need to be careful with the analysis ligo.org/science-summar…

🎉New paper day🎉 A tale of tails! Finally resolved in fully nonlinear 3+1d numerical relativity with @SXSProject simulations. Late-time tails in nonlinear evolutions of merging black holes De Amicis et al. arxiv.org/abs/2412.06887 What's it all about? 1/15
