Waveform propagation in black hole spacetimes: evaluating the quality of numerical solutions

L. Rezzolla, A. M. Abrahams, T. W. Baumgarte +4

We compute the propagation and scattering of linear gravitational waves off a Schwarzschild black hole using a numerical code which solves a generalization of the Zerilli equation…

Boosted three-dimensional black-hole evolutions with singularity excision

The Binary Black Hole Grand Challenge Alliance, :, G. B. Cook +43

Binary black hole interactions provide potentially the strongest source of gravitational radiation for detectors currently under development. We present some results from the Binar…

Quantum mechanical instabilities of Cauchy horizons in two dimensions - a modified form of the blueshift instability mechanism

Eanna E. Flanagan

There are several examples known of two dimensional spacetimes which are linearly stable when perturbed by test scalar classical fields, but which are unstable when perturbed by te…

Measuring gravitational waves from binary black hole coalescences: II. the waves' information and its extraction, with and without templates

Eanna E. Flanagan, Scott A. Hughes

We discuss the extraction of information from detected binary black hole (BBH) coalescence gravitational waves, focusing on the merger phase that occurs after the gradual inspiral…

Gravitational wave extraction and outer boundary conditions by perturbative matching

The Binary Black Hole Grand Challenge Alliance, :, A. M. Abrahams +42

We present a method for extracting gravitational radiation from a three-dimensional numerical relativity simulation and, using the extracted data, to provide outer boundary conditi…

General Relativistic Models of Binary Neutron Stars in Quasiequilibrium

T. W. Baumgarte, G. B. Cook, M. A. Scheel +2

We perform fully relativistic calculations of binary neutron stars in corotating, circular orbit. While Newtonian gravity allows for a strict equilibrium, a relativistic binary sys…

Numerical Evolution of Black Holes with a Hyperbolic Formulation of General Relativity

Mark A. Scheel, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Gregory B. Cook +2

We describe a numerical code that solves Einstein's equations for a Schwarzschild black hole in spherical symmetry, using a hyperbolic formulation introduced by Choquet-Bruhat and…

Quantum inequalities in two dimensional Minkowski spacetime

Eanna E. Flanagan

We generalize some results of Ford and Roman constraining the possible behaviors of renormalized expected stress-energy tensors of a free massless scalar field in two dimensional M…

General-relativistic coupling between orbital motion and internal degrees of freedom for inspiraling binary neutron stars

Eanna E. Flanagan

We analyze the coupling between the internal degrees of freedom of neutron stars in a close binary, and the stars' orbital motion. Our analysis is based on the method of matched as…

The Stability of Relativistic Neutron Stars in Binary Orbit

T. W. Baumgarte, G. B. Cook, M. A. Scheel +2

We analyze the stability of relativistic, quasi-equilibrium binary neutron stars in synchronous circular orbit. We explore stability against radial collapse to black holes prior to…

Binary Neutron Stars in General Relativity: Quasi-Equilibrium Models

T. W. Baumgarte, G. B. Cook, M. A. Scheel +2

We perform fully relativistic calculations of binary neutron stars in quasi-equilibrium circular orbits. We integrate Einstein's equations together with the relativistic equation o…

Numerical Integration of Nonlinear Wave Equations for General Relativity

Maurice H. P. M. van Putten

A second-order numerical implementation is given for recently derived nonlinear wave equations for general relativity. The Gowdy T cosmology is used as a test bed for studying…

Measuring gravitational waves from binary black hole coalescences: I. Signal to noise for inspiral, merger, and ringdown

Eanna E. Flanagan, Scott A. Hughes

We estimate the expected signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) from the three phases (inspiral,merger,ringdown) of coalescing binary black holes (BBHs) for initial and advanced ground-base…
