Perturbations of Schwarzschild black holes in the Lorenz gauge: Formulation and numerical implementation

Leor Barack, Carlos O. Lousto

We reformulate the theory of Schwarzschild black hole perturbations in terms of the metric perturbation in the Lorenz gauge. In this formulation, each tensor-harmonic mode of the p…

Accurate Evolutions of Orbiting Black-Hole Binaries Without Excision

M. Campanelli, C. O. Lousto, P. Marronetti +1

We present a new algorithm for evolving orbiting black-hole binaries that does not require excision or a corotating shift. Our algorithm is based on a novel technique to handle the…

The Lazarus Project. II. Spacelike extraction with the quasi-Kinnersley tetrad

Manuela Campanelli, Bernard J. Kelly, Carlos O. Lousto

The Lazarus project was designed to make the most of limited 3D binary black-hole simulations, through the identification of perturbations at late times, and subsequent evolution o…

Relativistic three-body effects in black hole coalescence

Manuela Campanelli, Miranda Dettwyler, Mark Hannam +1

Three-body interactions are expected to be common in globular clusters and in galactic cores hosting supermassive black holes. Here we consider an equal-mass binary-black-hole syst…

Accurate black hole evolutions by fourth-order numerical relativity

Y. Zlochower, J. G. Baker, M. Campanelli +1

We present techniques for successfully performing numerical relativity simulations of binary black holes with fourth-order accuracy. Our simulations are based on a new coding frame…

A time-domain fourth-order-convergent numerical algorithm to integrate black hole perturbations in the extreme-mass-ratio limit

Carlos O. Lousto

We obtain a fourth order accurate numerical algorithm to integrate the Zerilli and Regge-Wheeler wave equations, describing perturbations of nonrotating black holes, with source te…
