Motivation

Obtain accurate, long waveforms for unequal mass ratios for use in GW DA Comparison with alternative codes Matching to PN Calibrate accuracy: convergence, extraction radius, eccentricity Study non-dominant multipoles Optimize efficiency

Discretization errors: summary

Rex = 88 M ∆φ22 ≈ 0.2 rad ∆A22/A22 ≈ 0.5 % little variation over t ≈ 250 M...2000 M Errors larger during first orbits, late ringdown

Error due to extraction radius

Fix h = M/240 Rex = 56M, 64M, 72M, 80M, 88M, 96M Extrapolate assuming f = f0 + f1/r

  • r f = f0 + f1/r + f2/r 2

Use f0 as estimate at infinity Caution: Do not use underresolved extraction radii! Amplitudes would be contaminated due to dissipation.
