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.…
Binary black hole mergers: large kicks for generic spin orientations
Wolfgang Tichy, Pedro Marronetti
We present results from several simulations of equal mass black holes with spin. The spin magnitudes are in all cases, but we vary the spin orientations arbitrarily, in…
Binary black holes on a budget: Simulations using workstations
Pedro Marronetti, Wolfgang Tichy, Bernd Bruegmann +4
Binary black hole simulations have traditionally been computationally very expensive: current simulations are performed in supercomputers involving dozens if not hundreds of proces…
