This dataset consists of binary black hole waveforms for three different configurations * q=3, chi1=chi2=0.9 * q=4, chi1=chi2=0.9 * q=5, chi1=chi2=0.9 where q = m1/m2 is the ratio of the black hole masses, and chi1 and chi2 are the dimensionless spins of the black holes, oriented parallel to and in the direction of the orbital angular momentum. The waveforms are computed using the 3-dimensional numerical relativity simulation codes SpEC (SPectral Einstein Code -- https://www.black-holes.org/code/SpEC.html) ET (Einstein Toolkit -- https://einsteintoolkit.org) SpEC is computationally efficient and accurate, and produces long waveforms, but in these cases, the simulations crash at the merger. The ET is less computationally efficient and accurate, but the simulations complete successfully. We therefore combine long SpEC inspirals with short ET mergers, blending the waveforms to produce hybrid waveforms. The waveform data directories are named as follows: q=3,chi1=chi2=0.9: SpEC: q3_0.9_0.9_r200 ET: ceas_22_e5_2 Hybrid: q3_0.9_0.9_r200_hyb_ceas_22_e5_2 q=4,chi1=chi2=0.9: SpEC: q4_0.9_0.9_EccNew ET: ceas_20_5_e7 Hybrid: q4_0.9_0.9_EccNew_hyb_ceas_20_5_e7 q=5,chi1=chi2=0.9: SpEC: q5.0_s0_0_0.9_s0_0_0.9_r200 ET: ceas_23_e5_2 Hybrid: q5.0_s0_0_0.9_s0_0_0.9_r200_hyb_ceas_23_e5_2 The data is in the SXS simulation format (https://data.black-holes.org/waveforms/documentation.html), though only a subset of the SXS-format data is present. Also included is a Mathematica notebook, HybridizeWaveforms.nb, showing how the hybrid can be computed from the separate inspiral and merger waveforms using the open source SimulationTools code (https://simulationtools.org).
