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…
Gravitational Wave Recoil and the Retention of Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Kayhan Gultekin, Deirdre Shoemaker +1
During the inspiral and merger of a binary black hole, gravitational radiation is emitted anisotropically due to asymmetries in the merger configuration. This anisotropic radiation…
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…
Matched Filtering of Numerical Relativity Templates of Spinning Binary Black Holes
Birjoo Vaishnav, Ian Hinder, Frank Herrmann +1
Tremendous progress has been made towards the solution of the binary-black-hole problem in numerical relativity. The waveforms produced by numerical relativity will play a role in…
