Hybrid black-hole binary initial data
Bruno C. Mundim, Bernard J. Kelly, Yosef Zlochower +2
Traditional black-hole binary puncture initial data is conformally flat. This unphysical assumption is coupled with a lack of radiation signature from the binary's past life. As a…
Intermediate-mass-ratio black hole binaries: intertwining numerical and perturbative techniques
Carlos O. Lousto, Hiroyuki Nakano, Yosef Zlochower +1
We describe in detail full numerical and perturbative techniques to compute the gravitational radiation from intermediate-mass-ratio black-hole-binary inspirals and mergers. We per…
Advances in Simulations of Generic Black-Hole Binaries
Manuela Campanelli, Carlos O. Lousto, Bruno C. Mundim +3
We review some of the recent dramatic developments in the fully nonlinear simulation of generic, highly-precessing, black-hole binaries, and introduce a new approach for generating…
Intermediate Mass Ratio Black Hole Binaries: Numerical Relativity meets Perturbation Theory
Carlos O. Lousto, Hiroyuki Nakano, Yosef Zlochower +1
We study black-hole binaries in the intermediate-mass-ratio regime 0.01 < q < 0.1 with a new technique that makes use of nonlinear numerical trajectories and efficient perturbative…
