Description
Motivated by the characterization of detected black hole binaries which challenge the quasi-circular interpretation, we describe Numerical Relativity simulations of highly eccentric black hole binaries carried out with the codes Einstein Toolkit and GRAthena++. We consider initial data consisting of equal and unequal masses, and aligned spins. We report a preliminary comparison to Effective One Body waveforms, carried out with the code TEOBResumS, with which we find good agreement.
