Targeted numerical simulations of binary black holes for GW170104
James Healy, Jacob Lange, Richard O'Shaughnessy +22
In response to LIGO's observation of GW170104, we performed a series of full numerical simulations of binary black holes, each designed to replicate likely realizations of its dyna…
Evolutions of unequal mass, highly spinning black hole binaries
James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto, Ian Ruchlin +1
We evolve a binary black hole system bearing a mass ratio of and individual spins of and in a configuration where the large b…
Evolutions of Nearly Maximally Spinning Black Hole Binaries Using the Moving Puncture Approach
Yosef Zlochower, James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto +1
We demonstrate that numerical relativity codes based on the moving punctures formalism are capable of evolving nearly maximally spinning black hole binaries. We compare a new evolu…
A Parameter Estimation Method that Directly Compares Gravitational Wave Observations to Numerical Relativity
Jacob Lange, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Michael Boyle +23
We present and assess a Bayesian method to interpret gravitational wave signals from binary black holes. Our method directly compares gravitational wave data to numerical relativit…
The nonspinning binary black hole merger scenario revisited
James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto, Yosef Zlochower
We present the results of 14 simulations of nonspinning black hole binaries with mass ratios in the range . For each of these simulations we perform t…
Modeling the Black hole Merger of QSO 3C 186
Carlos O. Lousto, Yosef Zlochower, Manuela Campanelli
Recent detailed observations of the radio-loud quasar 3C 186 indicate the possibility that a supermassive recoiling black hole is moving away from the host galaxy at a speed of nea…
