FIG. 3. Waveform polarizations h+ (blue) and h⇥ (orange) in a sky direction parallel to the initial orbital plane of eachsimulation. All plots have the same horizontal scale, with each tick representing a time interval of 2000M (equal to 0.2 s for a20M� BBH).
vious studies consider only aligned spins [47, 104, 105]and at best either 15–20 orbits [39, 49] or a few orbits atvery large separation [106]. With the longer waveformsin this catalog, these studies can extend to the earlierpart of the inspiral, where PN theory is expected to bemore accurate, and to include a larger region of parame-ter space.
Independent validation of existing analytical waveform
models: Many waveform models [86, 107–111] are cali-brated against numerical relativity simulations—but usu-ally only with a small number of simulations, which arecomparatively short (typically < 10 orbits). The newsimulations here enable tests of these models at di↵erentpoints in parameter space and covering more cycles.
Detection sensitivity: Following the approach taken inthe NINJA projects [42, 98, 112], our waveforms canbe injected into GW detector noise to study the e�-ciency of GW data-analysis pipelines. Injections of pre-cessing and/or eccentric waveforms from this catalog canquantify the impact of precession and eccentricity on thedetection sensitivity of current searches using circular,aligned-spin templates. The new waveforms will also helpassess the performance of searches with precessing wave-form templates.
Systematic errors in parameter estimation: Parame-ter estimation methods [5] currently use inspiral-only PNwaveforms. Applying parameter estimation methods to
the waveforms in this catalog will enable the systematicerrors of this approach to be quantified.Construction of precessing inspiral-merger-ringdown
waveform models: This catalog will enable the construc-tion of sophisticated phenomenological or e↵ective-one-body waveform models for precessing binaries, extendingthe first such e↵ort [113].Periastron advance can be studied in aligned spin bi-
naries and generic binaries [114, 115].While this catalog will enable pioneering studies, ma-
jor challenges remain for future work. First, for a wave-form to be most useful for data analysis, it must be con-nected to a PN waveform from the early inspiral, forminga hybrid waveform [42] that spans the entire frequencyrange of a GW detector. This is di�cult for precessingconfigurations, because of both the complexity of pre-cessing PN waveforms and ambiguities in connecting PNbinary parameters with the numerical binary parame-ters [88].Second, most of the parameter space remains unex-
plored. Only 24 configurations have mass ratio q > 3(cf. Fig. 1); of these, only 5 are precessing, and almostnone have a spinning smaller black hole. Spinning BBHsystems for 5 <⇠ q <⇠ 10 are particularly interesting be-cause they serve as accurate proxies for BH-NS binaries.Furthermore, the catalog contains only three simulations(the only three to date [47, 94]) with spins � � 0.93 (i.e.,
