Accurate models of gravitational waves from merging black holes are necessary for detectors to observe as many events as possible while extracting the maximum science.

Measuring the frequency and decay time of multiple modes makes it possible to measure the remnant's mass and spin, and to test the waves against the predictions of gravity theories.

In this paper, we examine how the modes' excitations vary as a function of source parameters, such as the larger black hole's spin and the geometry of the smaller body's inspiral and plunge.
