Waveform uncertainties

  • Self-convergence: 2nd order (do not shift !) up to GW

frequencies 0.07/M

  • Extrapolation of waveform in resolution (Richardson, several

runs) ⟹ best case: Δφ~ 0.13 rad andΔA/A~ 0.2 % (0.07/M)

  • Finite radius extraction must be taken into account

Mω22 < 0.07 Mω22 < 0.1

Systematic uncertainties

  • Numerical viscosity of the HRSC scheme
  • Effect of different grid configurations (Berger-Oliger, ...)
  • Gauge effects on numerically extracted waves
  • Spurious thermal effect during inspiral
  • ...

They all potentially contribute (~ same order of magnitude), slowly improve with resolution - larger grids (≲ 2nd or 1/r converging behaviour),

  • nly partially under control !

⇒ LO or NNLO models are Ok up to contact ! Not possible to probe amplification, but αeff2<40 EOB tidal 2PN better but within errorbars

Summary

  • 9 orbits BNS waveforms converging up to Mω22 < 0.07-0.075 (~ before

contact), error estimates are necessary and difficult !

  • Several systematic uncertainties: more work required to obtain

“accurate” waveforms (more resolution, different numerical techniques/ specific methods for inspiral)

  • With “best NR waveforms”:
  • Tidal effects significant towards contact (LO is needed!)
  • (Strong) amplification previously observed likely due to numerical

inaccuracies, but still allowed 6 < αeff2 < 40

  • Tidal models (EOB, T4) compatible up to contact (EOB better but

within the errors). NOT possible to distinguish 1/2 PN (LO/NNLO).

  • “Validate” analysis of Damour et al 2012 on EOS detectability
