Collapse to Black Holes in Brans-Dicke Theory: II. Comparison with General Relativity

Mark A. Scheel, Stuart L. Shapiro, Saul A. Teukolsky

We discuss a number of long-standing theoretical questions about collapse to black holes in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation. Using a new numerical code, we show that Oppenhei…

Collapse to Black Holes in Brans-Dicke Theory: I. Horizon Boundary Conditions for Dynamical Spacetimes

Mark A. Scheel, Stuart L. Shapiro, Saul A. Teukolsky

We present a new numerical code that evolves a spherically symmetric configuration of collisionless matter in the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation. In this theory the spacetime is…

Calculation of gravitational wave forms from black hole collisions and disk collapse: Applying perturbation theory to numerical spacetimes

Andrew M. Abrahams, Stuart L. Shapiro, Saul A. Teukolsky

Many simulations of gravitational collapse to black holes become inaccurate before the total emitted gravitational radiation can be determined. The main difficulty is that a signif…

Collisions of boosted black holes: perturbation theory prediction of gravitational radiation

Andrew M. Abrahams, Gregory B. Cook

We consider general relativistic Cauchy data representing two nonspinning, equal-mass black holes boosted toward each other. When the black holes are close enough to each other and…

Disk collapse in general relativity

Andrew M. Abrahams, Stuart L. Shapiro, Saul A. Teukolsky

The radial collapse of a homogeneous disk of collisionless particles can be solved analytically in Newtonian gravitation. To solve the problem in general relativity, however, requi…

Three-dimensional initial data for the collision of two black holes II: Quasi-circular orbits for equal-mass black holes

Gregory B. Cook

The construction of initial-data sets representing binary black-hole configurations in quasi-circular orbits is studied in the context of the conformal-imaging formalism. An effect…
