Improved Analysis of GW150914 Using a Fully Spin-Precessing Waveform Model
Abstract: This paper presents updated estimates of source parameters for GW150914, a binary black-hole coalescence event detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 [Abbott et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 061102 (2016).]. Abbott et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 241102 (2016).] presented parameter estimation of the source using a 13-dimensional, phenomenological precessing-spin model (precessing IMRPhenom) and an 11-dimensional nonprecessing effective-onebody (EOB) model calibrated to nu…

“…Figure 20 shows the posterior densities for the M − q and q − χ eff subspaces. The consistency between the three waveform models is in agreement with previous studies, demonstrating that systematic errors were below the statistical errors for this event [6,8,123].…”

“…The inference of the effective spin parameter is consistent with zero and the posterior distribution of the spin components does not show evidence of precession, according to Ref. [183,197,198]. Also the extrinsic parameters show an overall good agreement with previous estimations performed with the same approximant, locating the source at a luminosity distance of D L = 458 +123 −169 Mpc with a posterior sky-location area of ∼640 deg 2 at the 90% credible level.…”
