Antikick Relation in High-Energy Head-On Collisions of Spinning Black Holes

Carlos O. Lousto, James Healy, Alessandro Ciarfella +1

The collision of black holes at relativistic speeds probes gravity in its most extreme dynamical regime. While the maximum gravitational recoil from \emph{grazing} high-energy coll…

The maximum radiated energy and final spin of high speed collision of two black holes

James Healy, Alessandro Ciarfella, Carlos O. Lousto

We performed a series of 769 full numerical simulations of high energy collision of black holes to search for the maximum gravitational energy emitted , during their merge…

Quasicircular Orbital Parameters for Numerical Relativity Revisited

Alessandro Ciarfella, James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto +1

In the post-Newtonian (PN) expansion, we extend the determination of quasicircular orbital parameters to be used by subsequent full numerical simulations to the 3.5PN order, and fi…

Close Encounter of Three Black Holes Revisited

A. Ciarfella, G. Ficarra, C. O. Lousto

We study the evolution of close triple black hole system with full numerical relativity techniques. We consider an equal mass non spinning hierarchical system with an inner binary…

Eccentricity estimation from initial data for Numerical Relativity Simulations

Alessandro Ciarfella, James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto +1

We describe and study an instantaneous definition of eccentricity to be applied at the initial moment of full numerical simulations of binary black holes. The method consists of ev…

Quantum black holes in bootstrapped Newtonian gravity

R. Casadio, M. Lenzi, A. Ciarfella

We analyse the classical configurations of a bootstrapped Newtonian potential generated by homogeneous spherically symmetric sources in terms of a quantum coherent state. We first…
