The final mass and spin of black hole mergers
Wolfgang Tichy, Pedro Marronetti
We consider black holes resulting from binary black hole mergers. By fitting to numerical results we construct analytic formulas that predict the mass and spin of the final black h…
A Discrete Representation of Einstein's Geometric Theory of Gravitation: The Fundamental Role of Dual Tessellations in Regge Calculus
Jonathan R. McDonald, Warner A. Miller
In 1961 Tullio Regge provided us with a beautiful lattice representation of Einstein's geometric theory of gravity. This Regge Calculus (RC) is strikingly different from the more u…
High-spin binary black hole mergers
Pedro Marronetti, Wolfgang Tichy, Bernd Brügmann +2
We study identical mass black hole binaries with spins perpendicular to the binary's orbital plane. These binaries have individual spins ranging from to 0.90, ($s_1 =…
The periodic standing-wave approximation: post-Minkowski computation
Christopher Beetle, Benjamin Bromley, Napoleón Hernández +1
The periodic standing wave method studies circular orbits of compact objects coupled to helically symmetric standing wave gravitational fields. From this solution an approximation…
Non--Localizability of Electric Coupling and Gravitational Binding of Charged Objects
Matthew Corne, Arkady Kheyfets, Warner Miller
The energy--momentum tensor in general relativity contains only localized contributions to the total energy--momentum. Here, we consider a static, spherically symmetric object cons…
Black hole puncture initial data with realistic gravitational wave content
Bernard J Kelly, Wolfgang Tichy, Manuela Campanelli +1
We present improved post-Newtonian-inspired initial data for non-spinning black-hole binaries, suitable for numerical evolution with punctures. We revisit the work of Tichy et al.…
