Learning about compact binary merger: the interplay between numerical relativity and gravitational-wave astronomy
Thomas Baumgarte, Patrick Brady, Jolien D E Creighton +3
Activities in data analysis and numerical simulation of gravitational waves have to date largely proceeded independently. In this work we study how waveforms obtained from numerica…
Quasiequilibrium sequences of black-hole--neutron-star binaries in general relativity
Keisuke Taniguchi, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Joshua A. Faber +1
We construct quasiequilibrium sequences of black hole-neutron star binaries for arbitrary mass ratios by solving the constraint equations of general relativity in the conformal thi…
Approximate initial data for binary black holes
Kenneth A. Dennison, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Harald P. Pfeiffer
We construct approximate analytical solutions to the constraint equations of general relativity for binary black holes of arbitrary mass ratio in quasicircular orbit. We adopt the…
Black Hole-Neutron Star Binary Merger Calculations: GRB Progenitors and the Stability of Mass Transfer
Joshua A. Faber, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Stuart L. Shapiro +2
We have calculated the first dynamical evolutions of merging black hole-neutron star binaries that treat the combined spacetime in a nonperturbative general relativistic framework.…
Black Holes: from Speculations to Observations
Thomas W. Baumgarte
This paper provides a brief review of the history of our understanding and knowledge of black holes. Starting with early speculations on ``dark stars'' I discuss the Schwarzschild…
General Relativistic Binary Merger Simulations and Short Gamma Ray Bursts
Joshua A. Faber, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Stuart L. Shapiro +1
The recent localization of some short-hard gamma ray bursts (GRBs) in galaxies with low star formation rates has lent support to the suggestion that these events result from compac…
