Black hole-neutron star mergers: effects of the orientation of the black hole spin
Francois Foucart, Matthew D. Duez, Lawrence E. Kidder +1
The spin of black holes in black hole-neutron star (BHNS) binaries can have a strong influence on the merger dynamics and the postmerger state; a wide variety of spin magnitudes an…
Spectral methods for the wave equation in second-order form
Nicholas W. Taylor, Lawrence E. Kidder, Saul A. Teukolsky
Current spectral simulations of Einstein's equations require writing the equations in first-order form, potentially introducing instabilities and inefficiencies. We present a new p…
Measuring orbital eccentricity and periastron advance in quasi-circular black hole simulations
Abdul H. Mroué, Harald P. Pfeiffer, Lawrence E. Kidder +1
We compare different methods of computing the orbital eccentricity of quasi-circular binary black hole systems using the orbital variables and gravitational wave phase and frequenc…
