Zoom-Whirl Orbits in Black Hole Binaries
James Healy, Janna Levin, Deirdre Shoemaker
Zoom-whirl behavior has the reputation of being a rare phenomenon. The concern has been that gravitational radiation would drain angular momentum so rapidly that generic orbits wou…

Superkicks in Hyperbolic Encounters of Binary Black Holes
James Healy, Frank Herrmann, Ian Hinder +3
Generic inspirals and mergers of binary black holes produce beamed emission of gravitational radiation that can lead to a gravitational recoil or kick of the final black hole. The…

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…
