Figure 25

Figure 25: The gravitational-wave spectrum for Q = 1 (Case E), 3 (Case A), and 5 (Case D) with a = 0 and Γ-law EOS with Γ = 2. 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 Q 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 MB = 1.4M ⊙ (R ≈ 13 km) for the NS and a source distance of D = 100 Mpc. This figure is taken from [63].
