Periastron advance in spinning black hole binaries: comparing effective-one-body and Numerical Relativity
Tanja Hinderer, Alessandra Buonanno, Abdul H. Mroué +8
We compute the periastron advance using the effective-one-body formalism for binary black holes moving on quasi-circular orbits and having spins collinear with the orbital angular…
Periastron Advance in Spinning Black Hole Binaries: Gravitational Self-Force from Numerical Relativity
Alexandre Le Tiec, Alessandra Buonanno, Abdul H. Mroué +8
We study the general relativistic periastron advance in spinning black hole binaries on quasi-circular orbits, with spins aligned or anti-aligned with the orbital angular momentum,…
Error-analysis and comparison to analytical models of numerical waveforms produced by the NRAR Collaboration
Ian Hinder, Alessandra Buonanno, Michael Boyle +53
The Numerical-Relativity-Analytical-Relativity (NRAR) collaboration is a joint effort between members of the numerical relativity, analytical relativity and gravitational-wave data…
Precessing Binary Black Holes Simulations: Quasicircular Initial Data
Abdul H. Mroué, Harald P. Pfeiffer
In numerical evolutions of binary black holes (BBH) it is desirable to easily control the orbital eccentricity of the BBH, and the number of orbits completed by the binary through…
Numerical simulations with a first order BSSN formulation of Einstein's field equations
J. David Brown, Peter Diener, Scott E. Field +7
We present a new fully first order strongly hyperbolic representation of the BSSN formulation of Einstein's equations with optional constraint damping terms. We describe the charac…
Reducing orbital eccentricity of precessing black-hole binaries
Alessandra Buonanno, Lawrence E. Kidder, Abdul H. Mroué +2
Building initial conditions for generic binary black-hole evolutions without initial spurious eccentricity remains a challenge for numerical-relativity simulations. This problem ca…
