Eccentricity content of binary black hole initial data
Emanuele Berti, Sai Iyer, Clifford M. Will
Using a post-Newtonian diagnostic tool developed by Mora and Will, we examine numerically generated quasiequilibrium initial data sets that have been used in recently successful nu…
Considerations on the excitation of black hole quasinormal modes
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Clifford M. Will
We provide some considerations on the excitation of black hole quasinormal modes (QNMs) in different physical scenarios. Considering a simple model in which a stream of particles a…
