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…
Properties of an affine transport equation and its holonomy
Justin Vines, David A. Nichols
An affine transport equation was used recently to study properties of angular momentum and gravitational-wave memory effects in general relativity. In this paper, we investigate lo…
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…
Observer dependence of angular momentum in general relativity and its relationship to the gravitational-wave memory effect
Éanna É. Flanagan, David A. Nichols
We define a procedure by which observers can measure a type of special-relativistic linear and angular momentum at a point in a curved spacetime using only the spac…
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…
Initial data for high-compactness black hole-neutron star binaries
Katherine Henriksson, François Foucart, Lawrence E. Kidder +1
For highly compact neutron stars, constructing numerical initial data for black hole-neutron star binary evolutions is very difficult. We describe improvements to an earlier method…
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…
Why I-Love-Q
Kent Yagi, Leo C. Stein, George Pappas +2
Black holes are said to have no hair because all of their multipole moments can be expressed in terms of just their mass, charge and spin angular momentum. The recent discovery of…
Tidal invariants for compact binaries on quasi-circular orbits
Sam R. Dolan, Patrick Nolan, Adrian C. Ottewill +2
We extend the gravitational self-force approach to encompass `self-interaction' tidal effects for a compact body of mass on a quasi-circular orbit around a black hole of mass $…
A note on Lorentz-like transformations and superluminal motion
Congrui Jin, Markus Lazar
In this extended note a critical discussion of an extension of the Lorentz transformations for velocities faster than the speed of light given recently by Hill and Cox is provided.…
Propagation of Test Particles and Scalar Fields on a Class of Wormhole Space-Times
Peter Taylor
In this paper, we consider the problem of test particles and test scalar fields propagating on the background of a class of wormhole space-times. For test particles, we solve for a…
Accelerated gravitational-wave parameter estimation with reduced order modeling
Priscilla Canizares, Scott E. Field, Jonathan Gair +3
Inferring the astrophysical parameters of coalescing compact binaries is a key science goal of the upcoming advanced LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detector network and, more genera…
Self-force via Green functions and worldline integration
Barry Wardell, Chad R. Galley, Anil Zenginoglu +3
A compact object moving in curved spacetime interacts with its own gravitational field. This leads to both dissipative and conservative corrections to the motion, which can be inte…
The NINJA-2 project: Detecting and characterizing gravitational waveforms modelled using numerical binary black hole simulations
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, 2 Collaboration +888
The Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project is a collaborative effort between members of the numerical relativity and gravitational-wave astrophysics communities. The purpose…
