EOB@Work25: 10 years of gravitational wave detections
INFN Torino
The effective-one-body (EOB) framework is a powerful analytical tool for the solution of the two-body problem in general relativity and beyond. The EOB approach is used to design waveform models for gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy and more in general to explore the two-body dynamics incorporating perturbative and numerical results in a unified framework.
EOBAtWork2025 is the fourth of a series of workshops aimed at starting a collaborative research effort at the frontiers of EOB development. The workshop is informal and technical. It alternates discussions with hands-on sessions.
The topic of this year's workshop is:
Interplay between eccentricity and spin precession
In particular, we will discuss:
- The influence of PM contributions to the conservative EOB sector;
- Matter effects along non-circularized orbits
- Synergies with numerical relativity
Additionally we will have special lectures dedicated to the ten years of gravitational astronomy, from GW150914 to GW231123 and to the pivotal use of EOB models in data analysis
