Mode Content

Times QNMs are present is shown below. Solid lines indicate prograde modes, hatched lines indicate retrograde modes. Vertical grey shaded regions (where present) show poor fit times.

Additional Notes

This simulation contains two instances of a retrograde mode present without a prograde mode, which are not shown on the mode content plot. These are the (3, 2, 4, -) mode at timesteps t0 = 10.0 [M] and t0 = 12.0 [M].

Amplitude Stability

Decay-corrected amplitudes are shown with the median as a bold line and 90% region shaded. Vertical grey shaded regions (where present) show poor fit times.

Fits

Model fits and data with residuals are shown. Start time is the earliest step at which the model fits well.

Epsilon

Remnant black hole mass and spin estimates are compared to NR values. Root square distance and posteriors at different start times are shown. The star indicates the NR value.
