Binary Black Hole Coalescence
arXiv:0710.1338
Abstract
The two-body problem in general relativity is reviewed, focusing on the final stages of the coalescence of the black holes as uncovered by recent successes in numerical solution of the field equations.
42 pages, 7 Figures. The "final version" of this Lecture Note will appear in the book: "Relativistic Objects in Compact Binaries: From Birth to Coalescence" Editor: Colpi et al. Pulisher: Springer Verlag, Canopus Publishing Limited
