Last night I was feeling like a grad student as I was deriving the coefficients l/(l+1) and (2l-1)/(2l+1) in this formula (from Blanchet+Damour 1986):

Big news in numerical relativity!! This is one of the things I've been working on for the past *checks notes* six years. Check it out!.
We are excited to release a major update to our catalog of binary black hole simulations, available at Such simulations are key to LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA being able to extract science from their gravitational wave detections. 1/14
