Gravitational-wave detectability of equal-mass black-hole binaries with aligned spins

Christian Reisswig, Sascha Husa, Luciano Rezzolla +3

Binary black-hole systems with spins aligned or anti-aligned to the orbital angular momentum provide the natural ground to start detailed studies of the influence of strong-field s…

Faithful Effective-One-Body waveforms of equal-mass coalescing black-hole binaries

Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Ernst Nils Dorband +2

We continue the program of constructing, within the Effective-One-Body (EOB) approach, high-accuracy analytic waveforms describing the signal emitted by inspiralling and coalescing…

The final spin from the coalescence of aligned-spin black-hole binaries

Luciano Rezzolla, Peter Diener, Ernst Nils Dorband +4

Determining the final spin of a black-hole (BH) binary is a question of key importance in astrophysics. Modelling this quantity in general is made difficult by the fact that it dep…

Spin Diagrams for Equal-Mass Black-Hole Binaries with Aligned Spins

Luciano Rezzolla, Ernst Nils Dorband, Christian Reisswig +4

Binary black-hole systems with spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum are of special interest as they may be the preferred end-state of the inspiral of generic supermassiv…

How far away is far enough for extracting numerical waveforms, and how much do they depend on the extraction method?

Enrique Pazos, Ernst Nils Dorband, Alessandro Nagar +3

We present a method for extracting gravitational waves from numerical spacetimes which generalizes and refines one of the standard methods based on the Regge--Wheeler--Zerilli pert…

A numerical study of the quasinormal mode excitation of Kerr black holes

Ernst Nils Dorband, Emanuele Berti, Peter Diener +2

We present numerical results from three-dimensional evolutions of scalar perturbations of Kerr black holes. Our simulations make use of a high-order accurate multi-block code which…
