Eccentric binary black-hole mergers: The transition from inspiral to plunge in general relativity
U. Sperhake, E. Berti, V. Cardoso +3
We study the transition from inspiral to plunge in general relativity by computing gravitational waveforms of non-spinning, equal-mass black-hole binaries. We consider three sequen…

Phenomenological template family for black-hole coalescence waveforms
P. Ajith, S. Babak, Y. Chen +15
Recent progress in numerical relativity has enabled us to model the non-perturbative merger phase of the binary black-hole coalescence problem. Based on these results, we propose a…

Supermassive recoil velocities for binary black-hole mergers with antialigned spins
J. A. Gonzalez, M. D. Hannam, U. Sperhake +2
Recent calculations of the recoil velocity in binary black hole mergers have found the kick velocity to be of the order of a few hundred km/s in the case of non-spinning binaries a…
