arXiv:astro-ph/0307323 · doi:10.1063/1.1629434
Abstract
Calculations of the final merger stage of binary black hole evolution can only be carried out using full scale numerical relativity simulations. This article provides a general overview of these calculations, highlighting recent progress and current challenges.
