Calculation of gravitational wave forms from black hole collisions and disk collapse: Applying perturbation theory to numerical spacetimes
arXiv:gr-qc/9408036 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.51.4295
Abstract
Many simulations of gravitational collapse to black holes become inaccurate before the total emitted gravitational radiation can be determined. The main difficulty is that a significant component of the radiation is still in the near-zone, strong field region at the time the simulation breaks down. We show how to calculate the emitted waveform by matching the numerical simulation to a perturbation solution when the final state of the system approaches a Schwarzschild black hole. We apply the technique to two scenarios: the head-on collision of two black holes, and the collapse of a disk to a black hole. This is the first reasonably accurate calculation of the radiation generated from colliding black holes that form from matter collapse.
