Gravitational Wave Detector Sensitivity to Eccentric Black Hole Mergers

Shubhagata Bhaumik, V. Gayathri, Imre Bartos +8

Orbital eccentricity in compact binary mergers carries crucial information about the binary's formation and environment. There are emerging signs that some of the mergers detected…

Ultimate Black Hole Recoil: What the maximum high energy collisions kick is?

James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto

We performed a series of 1381 full numerical simulations of high energy collision of black holes to search for the maximum recoil velocity after their merger. We consider equal mas…

Eccentricity estimation from initial data for Numerical Relativity Simulations

Alessandro Ciarfella, James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto +1

We describe and study an instantaneous definition of eccentricity to be applied at the initial moment of full numerical simulations of binary black holes. The method consists of ev…

Study of the Intermediate Mass Ratio Black Hole Binary Merger up to 1000:1 with Numerical Relativity

Carlos O. Lousto, James Healy

We explicitly demonstrate that current numerical relativity techniques are able to accurately evolve black hole binaries with mass ratios of the order of 1000:1. This proof of prin…

Numerical-relativity validation of effective-one-body waveforms in the intermediate-mass-ratio regime

Alessandro Nagar, James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto +2

One of the open problems in developing binary black hole (BBH) waveforms for gravitational wave astronomy is to model the intermediate mass ratio regime and connect it to the extre…

The Fourth RIT binary black hole simulations catalog: Extension to Eccentric Orbits

James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto

This fourth release of the RIT public catalog of numerical relativity black-hole-binary waveforms \url{http://ccrg.rit.edu/~RITCatalog} consists of 1881 accurate simulations that i…
