Effective-one-body multipolar waveforms for eccentric binary black holes with nonprecessing spins

We construct an inspiral-merger-ringdown eccentric gravitational-wave (GW) model for binary black holes with non-precessing spins within the effective-one-body formalism. This waveform model, SEOBNRv4EHM, extends the accurate quasi-circular SEOBNRv4HM model to eccentric binaries by including recently computed eccentric corrections up to 2PN order in the gravitational waveform modes, notably the $(l,|m|)=(2,2),(2,1),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5)$ multipoles. The waveform model reproduces the zero eccentricity limit with an accuracy comparable to the underlying quasi-circular model, with the unfaithfulness of $\lesssim1\%$ against quasi-circular numerical-relativity (NR) simulations. When compared against 28 public eccentric NR simulations from the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes catalog with initial orbital eccentricities up to $e\simeq0.3$ and dimensionless spin magnitudes up to $+0.7$, the model provides unfaithfulness $
