Bridging the gap between post-Newtonian theory and numerical relativity in gravitational-wave data analysis

One of the most exciting predictions of Einstein's theory of gravitation that have not yet been proven experimentally by a direct detection are gravitational waves. These are tiny distortions of the spacetime itself, and a world-wide effort to directly measure them for the first time with a net...
