Abstract

Effective one body numerical relativity waveform models for spin aligned binary black holes (SEOBNR) are based on the effective one body theoretical framework and numerical relativity simulation results. SEOBNR models have evolved through version 1 to version 4. We recently extended SEOBNRv1 model to SEOBNRE (Effective One Body Numerical Relativity waveform models for Spin aligned binary black holes along Eccentric orbit) model which is also valid for spin aligned binary black hole coalescence along eccentric orbit. In this paper we update our previous SEOBNRE model to make it consistent to SEOBNRv4 which is the most widely used SEOBNR waveform model. This upgraded SEOBNRE model improves accuracy compared to previous SEOBNRE model, especially for highly spinning black holes. For spin aligned binary black holes with mass ratio 1q101\leq q\lesssim10, dimensionless spin 0.9χ0.995-0.9\lesssim\chi\lesssim0.995 and orbital eccentricity 0e00.60\leq e_0\lesssim0.6 at reference frequency Mf0=0.002Mf_0=0.002 (MM is the total mass of the binary black hole, f04010MMf_0\approx 40\frac{10{\rm M}_\odot}{M}Hz), the upgraded SEOBNRE model can always fit numerical relativity waveform better than 98.2\%. For most cases the fitting factor can even be better than 99\%.
