Puncture Initial Data for Black-Hole Binaries with High Spins and High Boosts
Ian Ruchlin, James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto +1
We solve the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints of general relativity for two black holes with nearly extremal spins and relativistic boosts in the puncture formalism. We use a n…
Flip-flopping binary black holes
Carlos O. Lousto, James Healy
We study binary spinning black holes to display the long term individual spin dynamics. We perform a full numerical simulation starting at an initial proper separation of $d\approx…
Decoding the final state in binary black hole mergers
James Healy, Pablo Laguna, Deirdre Shoemaker
We demonstrate that in binary black hole mergers there is a direct correlation between the frequency of the gravitational wave at peak amplitude and the mass and spin of the final…
Remnant mass, spin, and recoil from spin aligned black-hole binaries
James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto, Yosef Zlochower
We perform a set of 36 nonprecessing black-hole binary simulations with spins either aligned or counteraligned with the orbital angular momentum in order to model the final mass, s…
Investigating Binary Black Hole Mergers with Principal Component Analysis
James Clark, Laura Cadonati, James Healy +6
Despite recent progress in numerical simulations of the coalescence of binary black hole systems, highly asymmetric spinning systems and the construction of accurate physical templ…
Modeling Ringdown: Beyond the Fundamental Quasi-Normal Modes
Lionel London, James Healy, Deirdre Shoemaker
While black hole perturbation theory predicts a rich quasi-normal mode structure, technical challenges have limited the numerical study of excitations to the fundamental, lowest or…
