The final mass and spin of black hole mergers
Wolfgang Tichy, Pedro Marronetti
We consider black holes resulting from binary black hole mergers. By fitting to numerical results we construct analytic formulas that predict the mass and spin of the final black h…
High-spin binary black hole mergers
Pedro Marronetti, Wolfgang Tichy, Bernd Brügmann +2
We study identical mass black hole binaries with spins perpendicular to the binary's orbital plane. These binaries have individual spins ranging from to 0.90, ($s_1 =…
Binary black hole mergers: large kicks for generic spin orientations
Wolfgang Tichy, Pedro Marronetti
We present results from several simulations of equal mass black holes with spin. The spin magnitudes are in all cases, but we vary the spin orientations arbitrarily, in…
Binary black holes on a budget: Simulations using workstations
Pedro Marronetti, Wolfgang Tichy, Bernd Bruegmann +4
Binary black hole simulations have traditionally been computationally very expensive: current simulations are performed in supercomputers involving dozens if not hundreds of proces…
Constraint Relaxation
Pedro Marronetti
Full relativistic simulations in three dimensions are known to develop runaway modes that grow exponentially and are accompanied by violations of the Hamiltonian and momentum const…
Accurate Evolutions of Orbiting Black-Hole Binaries Without Excision
M. Campanelli, C. O. Lousto, P. Marronetti +1
We present a new algorithm for evolving orbiting black-hole binaries that does not require excision or a corotating shift. Our algorithm is based on a novel technique to handle the…
