The final mass and spin of black hole mergers
Wolfgang Tichy, Pedro Marronetti
We consider black holes resulting from binary black hole mergers. By fitting to numerical results we construct analytic formulas that predict the mass and spin of the final black h…
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 =…
Black hole puncture initial data with realistic gravitational wave content
Bernard J Kelly, Wolfgang Tichy, Manuela Campanelli +1
We present improved post-Newtonian-inspired initial data for non-spinning black-hole binaries, suitable for numerical evolution with punctures. We revisit the work of Tichy et al.…
Binary black hole mergers: large kicks for generic spin orientations
Wolfgang Tichy, Pedro Marronetti
We present results from several simulations of equal mass black holes with spin. The spin magnitudes are in all cases, but we vary the spin orientations arbitrarily, in…
Binary black holes on a budget: Simulations using workstations
Pedro Marronetti, Wolfgang Tichy, Bernd Bruegmann +4
Binary black hole simulations have traditionally been computationally very expensive: current simulations are performed in supercomputers involving dozens if not hundreds of proces…
