Accurate Effective-One-Body waveforms of inspiralling and coalescing black-hole binaries
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Mark Hannam +2
The Effective-One-Body (EOB) formalism contains several flexibility parameters, notably , $\vp$ and $\a$. We show here how to jointly constrain the values of these parameters…
Comparison between numerical-relativity and post-Newtonian waveforms from spinning binaries: the orbital hang-up case
Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa, Bernd Brügmann +1
We compare results from numerical simulations of spinning binaries in the "orbital hangup" case, where the binary completes at least nine orbits before merger, with post-Newtonian…
Multipolar analysis of spinning binaries
E. Berti, V. Cardoso, J. A. Gonzalez +2
We present a preliminary study of the multipolar structure of gravitational radiation from spinning black hole binary mergers. We consider three different spinning binary configura…
Eccentric binary black-hole mergers: The transition from inspiral to plunge in general relativity
U. Sperhake, E. Berti, V. Cardoso +3
We study the transition from inspiral to plunge in general relativity by computing gravitational waveforms of non-spinning, equal-mass black-hole binaries. We consider three sequen…
High-spin binary black hole mergers
Pedro Marronetti, Wolfgang Tichy, Bernd Brügmann +2
We study identical mass black hole binaries with spins perpendicular to the binary's orbital plane. These binaries have individual spins ranging from to 0.90, ($s_1 =…
Exploring black hole superkicks
Bernd Bruegmann, Jose Gonzalez, Mark Hannam +2
Recent calculations of the recoil velocity in black-hole binary mergers have found kick velocities of km/s for equal-mass binaries with anti-aligned initial spins in…
