Black hole-neutron star mergers at realistic mass ratios: Equation of state and spin orientation effects
Francois Foucart, M. Brett Deaton, Matthew D. Duez +7
Black hole-neutron star mergers resulting in the disruption of the neutron star and the formation of an accretion disk and/or the ejection of unbound material are prime candidates…
Dynamical Excision Boundaries in Spectral Evolutions of Binary Black Hole Spacetimes
Daniel A. Hemberger, Mark A. Scheel, Lawrence E. Kidder +4
Simulations of binary black hole systems using the Spectral Einstein Code (SpEC) are done on a computational domain that excises the regions inside the black holes. It is imperativ…
Suitability of hybrid gravitational waveforms for unequal-mass binaries
Ilana MacDonald, Abdul H. Mroue, Harald P. Pfeiffer +5
This article studies sufficient accuracy criteria of hybrid post-Newtonian (PN) and numerical relativity (NR) waveforms for parameter estimation of strong binary black-hole sources…
Simulations of non-equal mass black hole binaries with spectral methods
Luisa T. Buchman, Harald P. Pfeiffer, Mark A. Scheel +1
This paper presents techniques and results for simulations of unequal mass, non-spinning black hole binaries with pseudo-spectral methods. Specifically, we develop an efficient roo…
Are different approaches to constructing initial data for binary black hole simulations of the same astrophysical situation equivalent?
Bryant Garcia, Geoffrey Lovelace, Lawrence E. Kidder +4
Initial data for numerical evolutions of binary-black holes have been dominated by "conformally flat" (CF) data (i.e., initial data where the conformal background metric is chosen…
Prototype effective-one-body model for nonprecessing spinning inspiral-merger-ringdown waveforms
Andrea Taracchini, Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno +6
We first use five non-spinning and two mildly spinning (chi_i \simeq -0.44, +0.44) numerical-relativity waveforms of black-hole binaries and calibrate an effective-one-body (EOB) m…
