Abstract:
Models of gravitational waveforms from coalescing black-hole binaries play a
crucial role in the efforts to detect and interpret those signatures in the
data of large-scale interferometers. Here we summarize recent models that
combine information both from analytical approximations and numerical
relativity. We briefly lay out and compare the strategies employed to build
such complete models and we recapitulate the errors associated with various
aspects of the modelling process.
