Effective one body approach to the dynamics of two spinning black holes with next-to-leading order spin-orbit coupling (2008, methodology): “7a) above, with a5 somewhere between +10 and +80 [7, 8, 9, 10].”
Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology with Gravitational Waves (2009, background): “For the best LIGO detectors we need several thousand templates to search for component masses in the range [mlow,mhigh] = [1, 100]M [279].”
Black-hole binaries, gravitational waves, and numerical relativity (2010, methodology): “…mergers of spinning black holes (Campanelli et al., 2006d), the first long waveforms (∼ 7 orbits) (Baker et al., 2007c), the first comparisons with PN results (Baker et al., 2007d; Buonanno et al., 2007a), and the first systematic parameter study in numerical relativity (González et al., 2007b).”
