Gravitational wave observations of large mass ratio compact binary mergers like GW190814 highlight the need for reliable, high-accuracy waveform templates for such systems. We present NRHybSur2dq15 , a new surrogate model trained on hybridized numerical relativity (NR) waveforms with mass ratios q ≤ 15, and aligned spins | χ 1 z | ≤ 0 . 5 and χ 2 z = 0. We target the parameter space of GW190814-like events as large mass ratio NR simulations are very expensive. The model includes the (2,2), (2,1), (3,3), (4,4), and (5,5) spin-weighted spherical harmonic modes, and spans the entire LIGO-Virgo bandwidth (with f low = 20 Hz) for total masses M (cid:38) 9 . 5 M (cid:12) . NRHybSur2dq15 accurately reproduces the hybrid waveforms, with mismatches below ∼ 2 × 10 − 3 for total masses 10 M (cid:12) ≤ M ≤ 300 M (cid:12) . This is at least an order of magnitude improvement over existing semi-analytical models for GW190814-like systems. Finally, we reanalyze GW190814 with the new model and obtain source parameter constraints consistent with previous work.
