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

For this highly precessing system, we have found that QNM fits, and our algorithm, produce unreliable results. Therefore while we include the results from this simulation for completeness, we caution the reader against drawing any conclusions from them.

This simulation contains multiple instances of a retrograde mode present without a prograde mode, which, in this exceptional case, have been shown on a separate plot as dotted regions. Furthermore, this is the only simulation found to contain a constant offset, which is shown in pink on the plots.

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.
