Ultra-relativistic grazing collisions of black holes
U. Sperhake, V. Cardoso, F. Pretorius +3
We study gravitational wave emission, zoom-whirl behavior and the resulting spin of the remnant black hole in highly boosted collisions of equal-mass, non spinning black-hole binar…

Semianalytical estimates of scattering thresholds and gravitational radiation in ultrarelativistic black hole encounters
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Tanja Hinderer +4
Ultrarelativistic collisions of black holes are ideal gedanken experiments to study the nonlinearities of general relativity. In this paper we use semianalytical tools to better un…
