Reducing spurious gravitational radiation in binary-black-hole simulations by using conformally curved initial data
Geoffrey Lovelace
At early times in numerical evolutions of binary black holes, current simulations contain an initial burst of spurious gravitational radiation (also called "junk radiation") which…
Recoil velocity at 2PN order for spinning black hole binaries
Etienne Racine, Alessandra Buonanno, Lawrence E. Kidder
We compute the flux of linear momentum carried by gravitational waves emitted from spinning binary black holes at 2PN order for generic orbits. In particular we provide explicit ex…
High-accuracy waveforms for binary black hole inspiral, merger, and ringdown
Mark A. Scheel, Michael Boyle, Tony Chu +3
The first spectral numerical simulations of 16 orbits, merger, and ringdown of an equal-mass non-spinning binary black hole system are presented. Gravitational waveforms from these…
Evolving black hole-neutron star binaries in general relativity using pseudospectral and finite difference methods
Matthew D. Duez, Francois Foucart, Lawrence E. Kidder +3
We present a code for solving the coupled Einstein-hydrodynamics equations to evolve relativistic, self-gravitating fluids. The Einstein field equations are solved in generalized h…
Extended Palatini action for general relativity and the natural emergence of the cosmological constant
Eran Rosenthal
In the Palatini action of general relativity the connection and the metric are treated as independent dynamical variables. Instead of assuming a relation between these quantities,…
Two timescale analysis of extreme mass ratio inspirals in Kerr. I. Orbital Motion
Tanja Hinderer, Eanna E. Flanagan
Inspirals of stellar mass compact objects into massive black holes are an important source for future gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO and LISA. Detection of thes…
Ineffectiveness of Padé resummation techniques in post-Newtonian approximations
Abdul H. Mroué, Lawrence E. Kidder, Saul A. Teukolsky
We test the resummation techniques used in developing Padé and Effective One Body (EOB) waveforms for gravitational wave detection. Convergence tests show that Padé approximants of…
Binary-black-hole initial data with nearly-extremal spins
Geoffrey Lovelace, Robert Owen, Harald P. Pfeiffer +1
There is a significant possibility that astrophysical black holes with nearly-extremal spins exist. Numerical simulations of such systems require suitable initial data. In this pap…
High-accuracy numerical simulation of black-hole binaries: Computation of the gravitational-wave energy flux and comparisons with post-Newtonian approximants
Michael Boyle, Alessandra Buonanno, Lawrence E. Kidder +4
Expressions for the gravitational wave (GW) energy flux and center-of-mass energy of a compact binary are integral building blocks of post-Newtonian (PN) waveforms. In this paper,…
Initial data for black hole-neutron star binaries: a flexible, high-accuracy spectral method
Francois Foucart, Lawrence E. Kidder, Harald P. Pfeiffer +1
We present a new numerical scheme to solve the initial value problem for black hole-neutron star binaries. This method takes advantage of the flexibility and fast convergence of a…
