On the ergoregion instability in rotating gravastars
Cecilia B. M. H. Chirenti, Luciano Rezzolla
The ergoregion instability is known to affect very compact objects that rotate very rapidly and do not possess a horizon. We present here a detailed analysis on the relevance of th…
Accurate evolutions of inspiralling neutron-star binaries: prompt and delayed collapse to black hole
Luca Baiotti, Bruno Giacomazzo, Luciano Rezzolla
Binary neutron-star (BNS) systems represent primary sources for the gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. We present a systematic investigation in full GR of the dynamics and GW emiss…
Constraint-preserving boundary treatment for a harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations
Jennifer Seiler, Bela Szilagyi, Denis Pollney +1
We present a set of well-posed constraint-preserving boundary conditions for a first-order in time, second-order in space, harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations. The bound…
On the final spin from the coalescence of two black holes
Luciano Rezzolla, Enrico Barausse, Ernst Nils Dorband +4
We provide a compact analytic formula to compute the spin of the black hole produced by the coalescence of two black holes. The expression, which uses an analytic fit of numerical-…
Faithful Effective-One-Body waveforms of equal-mass coalescing black-hole binaries
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Ernst Nils Dorband +2
We continue the program of constructing, within the Effective-One-Body (EOB) approach, high-accuracy analytic waveforms describing the signal emitted by inspiralling and coalescing…
The influence of the hydrodynamic drag from an accretion torus on extreme mass-ratio inspirals
E. Barausse, L. Rezzolla
We have studied extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) in spacetimes containing a rotating black hole and a non self-gravitating torus with constant specific angular momentum. We hav…
