Numerical Relativity meets Data Analysis: Spinning Binary Black Hole Case
Deirdre Shoemaker, Birjoo Vaishnav, Ian Hinder +1
We present a study of the gravitational waveforms from a series of spinning, equal-mass black hole binaries focusing on the harmonic content of the waves and the contribution of th…
Binary Black Hole Encounters, Gravitational Bursts and Maximum Final Spin
M. C. Washik, J. Healy, F. Herrmann +4
The spin of the final black hole in the coalescence of nonspinning black holes is determined by the ``residual'' orbital angular momentum of the binary. This residual momentum cons…
Probing the Binary Black Hole Merger Regime with Scalar Perturbations
Eloisa Bentivegna, Deirdre M. Shoemaker, Ian Hinder +1
We present results obtained by scattering a scalar field off the curved background of a coalescing binary black hole system. A massless scalar field is evolved on a set of fixed ba…
Robustness of Binary Black Hole Mergers in the Presence of Spurious Radiation
Tanja Bode, Deirdre Shoemaker, Frank Herrmann +1
We present an investigation into how sensitive the last orbits and merger of binary black hole systems are to the presence of spurious radiation in the initial data. Our numerical…
Circularization and Final Spin in Eccentric Binary Black Hole Inspirals
Ian Hinder, Birjoo Vaishnav, Frank Herrmann +2
We present results from numerical relativity simulations of equal mass, non-spinning binary black hole inspirals and mergers with initial eccentricities e <= 0.8 and coordinate sep…
Binary Black Holes: Spin Dynamics and Gravitational Recoil
Frank Herrmann, Ian Hinder, Deirdre M. Shoemaker +2
We present a study of spinning black hole binaries focusing on the spin dynamics of the individual black holes as well as on the gravitational recoil acquired by the black hole pro…
