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…
Recoil velocities from equal-mass binary black-hole mergers: a systematic investigation of spin-orbit aligned configurations
Denis Pollney, Christian Reisswig, Luciano Rezzolla +8
Binary black-hole systems with spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum are of special interest, as studies indicate that this configuration is preferred in nature. If the s…
How to tell a gravastar from a black hole
Cecilia B. M. H. Chirenti, Luciano Rezzolla
Gravastars have been recently proposed as potential alternatives to explain the astrophysical phenomenology traditionally associated to black holes, raising the question of whether…
Dynamical non-axisymmetric instabilities in rotating relativistic stars
G. M. Manca, L. Baiotti, R. De Pietri +1
We present new results on dynamical instabilities in rapidly rotating neutron-stars. In particular, using numerical simulations in full General Relativity, we analyse the effects t…
