TL;DR: This work presents the first analytical inspiral-merger-ringdown gravitational waveforms from binary black holes with nonprecessing spins, that is based on a description of the late-inspiral, merger and ringdown in full general relativity.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the relevant fields of research, summarize important open problems, and lay out a roadmap for future progress can be found in this article, where the authors present a concise, yet comprehensive overview.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend previous work on 3D black hole excision to the case of distorted black holes, with a variety of dynamic gauge conditions that are able to respond naturally to the spacetime dynamics.

TL;DR: In this paper, a frequency-domain matching of post-Newtonian inspiral waveforms with numerical relativity based binary black hole coalescence waveforms is proposed to quantify the various possible sources of systematic errors that arise in matching post-newtonian and numerical relativity waveforms, and use a matching criteria based on minimizing these errors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a family of template waveforms is proposed to model the inspiral, merger, and ring-down stages of the coalescence of nonspinning binary black holes that follow quasicircular inspiral.
