Improved methods for simulating nearly extremal binary black holes
Mark A. Scheel, Matthew Giesler, Daniel A. Hemberger +5
Astrophysical black holes could be nearly extremal (that is, rotating nearly as fast as possible); therefore, nearly extremal black holes could be among the binaries that current a…
Nearly extremal apparent horizons in simulations of merging black holes
Geoffrey Lovelace, Mark A. Scheel, Robert Owen +9
The spin angular momentum of an isolated Kerr black hole is bounded by the surface area of its apparent horizon: , with equality for extremal black holes. In thi…
What does a binary black hole merger look like?
Andy Bohn, William Throwe, François Hébert +4
We present a method of calculating the strong-field gravitational lensing caused by many analytic and numerical spacetimes. We use this procedure to calculate the distortion caused…
The Kerr Metric
Saul A. Teukolsky
This review describes the events leading up to the discovery of the Kerr metric in 1963 and the enormous impact the discovery has had in the subsequent 50 years. The review discuss…
Rapidly rotating black holes in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity: Decoupling limit solutions and breakdown
Leo C. Stein
Rapidly rotating black holes are a prime arena for understanding corrections to Einstein's theory of general relativity (GR). We construct solutions for rapidly rotating black hole…
Geodesic deviation at higher orders via covariant bitensors
Justin Vines
We review a simple but instructive application of the formalism of covariant bitensors, to use a deviation vector field along a fiducial geodesic to describe a neighboring worldlin…
