Mergers of black-hole binaries with aligned spins: Waveform characteristics

Bernard J. Kelly, John G. Baker, William D. Boggs +2

We conduct a descriptive analysis of the multipolar structure of gravitational-radiation waveforms from equal-mass aligned-spin mergers, following an approach first presented in th…

A General Formula for Black Hole Gravitational Wave Kicks

James R. van Meter, M. Coleman Miller, John G. Baker +2

Although the gravitational wave kick velocity in the orbital plane of coalescing black holes has been understood for some time, apparently conflicting formulae have been proposed f…

Modeling kicks from the merger of generic black-hole binaries

John G. Baker, William D. Boggs, Joan Centrella +4

Recent numerical relativistic results demonstrate that the merger of comparable-mass spinning black holes has a maximum ``recoil kick'' of up to $\sim 4000 \kms$. However the scali…
