We present NRHybSur3dq8, a surrogate model for hybridized nonprecessing numerical relativity waveforms, that is valid for the entire LIGO band (starting at $20~\text{Hz}$) for stellar mass binaries with total masses as low as $2. 25\, M_{\odot}$.

In this paper we demonstrate the viability of these surrogate models as reliable parameter estimation tools, and show that within a fully Bayesian framework surrogates can help us extract more information from gravitational wave observations than traditional models.

A generic, non-eccentric binary black hole (BBH) system emits gravitational waves (GWs) that are completely described by 7 intrinsic parameters: the black hole spin vectors and the ratio of their masses.
