Title: Modelling the gravitational waves from compact binary coalescence
Abstract: In this talk I will review the challenges and state of the art of modelling the gravitational wave signals from the coalescence of compact binaries - the only type of gravitational wave signal that has been identified to date. The talk will in particular focus on the challenges to solve the Einstein equations numerically, and to provide computationally efficient waveform models across the parameter space of astrophysically plausible sources.
