Simulations of Binary Black Hole Mergers Using Spectral Methods

Béla Szilágyi, Lee Lindblom, Mark A. Scheel

Several improvements in numerical methods and gauge choice are presented that make it possible now to perform simulations of the merger and ringdown phases of "generic" binary blac…

High accuracy simulations of black hole binaries:spins anti-aligned with the orbital angular momentum

Tony Chu, Harald P. Pfeiffer, Mark A. Scheel

High-accuracy binary black hole simulations are presented for black holes with spins anti-aligned with the orbital angular momentum. The particular case studied represents an equal…

Momentum flow in black-hole binaries: II. Numerical simulations of equal-mass, head-on mergers with antiparallel spins

Geoffrey Lovelace, Yanbei Chen, Michael Cohen +6

Research on extracting science from binary-black-hole (BBH) simulations has often adopted a "scattering matrix" perspective: given the binary's initial parameters, what are the fin…

Effective-one-body waveforms calibrated to numerical relativity simulations: coalescence of non-spinning, equal-mass black holes

Alessandra Buonanno, Yi Pan, Harald P. Pfeiffer +3

We calibrate the effective-one-body (EOB) model to an accurate numerical simulation of an equal-mass, non-spinning binary black-hole coalescence produced by the Caltech-Cornell col…

The Samurai Project: verifying the consistency of black-hole-binary waveforms for gravitational-wave detection

Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa, John G. Baker +16

We quantify the consistency of numerical-relativity black-hole-binary waveforms for use in gravitational-wave (GW) searches with current and planned ground-based detectors. We comp…
