The final spin from the coalescence of aligned-spin black-hole binaries
Luciano Rezzolla, Peter Diener, Ernst Nils Dorband +4
Determining the final spin of a black-hole (BH) binary is a question of key importance in astrophysics. Modelling this quantity in general is made difficult by the fact that it dep…
Are moving punctures equivalent to moving black holes?
Jonathan Thornburg, Peter Diener, Denis Pollney +4
When simulating the inspiral and coalescence of a binary black-hole system, special care needs to be taken in handling the singularities. Two main techniques are used in numerical-…
A numerical study of the quasinormal mode excitation of Kerr black holes
Ernst Nils Dorband, Emanuele Berti, Peter Diener +2
We present numerical results from three-dimensional evolutions of scalar perturbations of Kerr black holes. Our simulations make use of a high-order accurate multi-block code which…
