Improved methods for simulating nearly extremal binary black holes
Mark A. Scheel, Matthew Giesler, Daniel A. Hemberger +5
Astrophysical black holes could be nearly extremal (that is, rotating nearly as fast as possible); therefore, nearly extremal black holes could be among the binaries that current a…
Nearly extremal apparent horizons in simulations of merging black holes
Geoffrey Lovelace, Mark A. Scheel, Robert Owen +9
The spin angular momentum of an isolated Kerr black hole is bounded by the surface area of its apparent horizon: , with equality for extremal black holes. In thi…
What does a binary black hole merger look like?
Andy Bohn, William Throwe, François Hébert +4
We present a method of calculating the strong-field gravitational lensing caused by many analytic and numerical spacetimes. We use this procedure to calculate the distortion caused…
