The Merger of Small and Large Black Holes
P. Mösta, L. Andersson, J. Metzger +2
We present simulations of binary black holes mergers in which, after the common outer horizon has formed, the marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTSs) corresponding to the individ…
Jang's equation and its applications to marginally trapped surfaces
Lars Andersson, Michael Eichmair, Jan Metzger
In this paper we survey some recent advances in the analysis of marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTS). We begin with a systematic review of results by Schoen and Yau on Jang's e…
The time evolution of marginally trapped surfaces
Lars Andersson, Marc Mars, Jan Metzger +1
In previous work we have shown the existence of a dynamical horizon or marginally trapped tube (MOTT) containing a given strictly stable marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS). In…
Blowup of Jang's equation at outermost marginally trapped surfaces
Jan Metzger
The aim of this paper is to collect some facts about the blowup of Jang's equation. First, we discuss how to construct solutions that blow up at an outermost MOTS. Second, we exclu…
Curvature estimates for stable marginally trapped surfaces
Lars Andersson, Jan Metzger
We derive integral and sup-estimates for the curvature of stably marginally outer trapped surfaces in a sliced space-time. The estimates bound the shear of a marginally outer trapp…
Numerical computation of constant mean curvature surfaces using finite elements
Jan Metzger
This paper presents a method for computing two-dimensional constant mean curvature surfaces. The method in question uses the variational aspect of the problem to implement an effic…
