Figure 25: The gravitational-wave spectrum for (Case E), 3 (Case A), and 5 (Case D) with
and -law EOS with . This simulation was performed by the UIUC group. The
solid curve shows the spectrum of a 2.5PN and numerical waveforms, while the dotted curve shows
the contribution from the numerical waveform only. The dashed curve is the analytic fit derived
in [5] from analysis of BH-BH binaries composed of a non-spinning BH with the same values of
as the BH-NS. The heavy solid curve is the effective strain of Advanced LIGO. To set physical units,
a rest mass is assumed to be ( ) for the NS and a source distance of
= 100 Mpc. This figure is taken from [63].
