Black hole-neutron star mergers for 10 solar mass black holes
Francois Foucart, Matthew D. Duez, Lawrence E. Kidder +3
General relativistic simulations of black hole-neutron star mergers have currently been limited to low-mass black holes (less than 7 solar mass), even though population synthesis m…
Accurate gravitational waveforms for binary-black-hole mergers with nearly extremal spins
Geoffrey Lovelace, Michael Boyle, Mark A. Scheel +1
Motivated by the possibility of observing gravitational waves from merging black holes whose spins are nearly extremal (i.e., 1 in dimensionless units), we present numerical wavefo…
On Toroidal Horizons in Binary Black Hole Inspirals
Michael I. Cohen, Jeffrey D. Kaplan, Mark A. Scheel
We examine the structure of the event horizon for numerical simulations of two black holes that begin in a quasicircular orbit, inspiral, and finally merge. We find that the spatia…
Visualizing Spacetime Curvature via Frame-Drag Vortexes and Tidal Tendexes I. General Theory and Weak-Gravity Applications
David A. Nichols, Robert Owen, Fan Zhang +8
When one splits spacetime into space plus time, the Weyl curvature tensor (vacuum Riemann tensor) gets split into two spatial, symmetric, and trace-free (STF) tensors: (i) the Weyl…
Inspiral-merger-ringdown multipolar waveforms of nonspinning black-hole binaries using the effective-one-body formalism
Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno, Michael Boyle +4
We calibrate an effective-one-body (EOB) model to numerical-relativity simulations of mass ratios 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, by maximizing phase and amplitude agreement of the leading (2,2…
