Gravitational waves from black-hole mergers
John G. Baker, William D. Boggs, Joan M. Centrella +3
Coalescing black-hole binaries are expected to be the strongest sources of gravitational waves for ground-based interferometers as well as the space-based interferometer LISA. Rece…
Anatomy of the binary black hole recoil: A multipolar analysis
Jeremy D. Schnittman, Alessandra Buonanno, James R. van Meter +5
We present a multipolar analysis of the gravitational recoil computed in recent numerical simulations of binary black hole (BH) coalescence, for both unequal masses and non-zero, n…
Toward faithful templates for non-spinning binary black holes using the effective-one-body approach
Alessandra Buonanno, Yi Pan, John G. Baker +4
We present an accurate approximation of the full gravitational radiation waveforms generated in the merger of non-eccentric systems of two non-spinning black holes. Utilizing infor…
A data-analysis driven comparison of analytic and numerical coalescing binary waveforms: nonspinning case
Yi Pan, Alessandra Buonanno, John G. Baker +5
We compare waveforms obtained by numerically evolving nonspinning binary black holes to post-Newtonian (PN) template families currently used in the search for gravitational waves b…
Recoiling from a kick in the head-on collision of spinning black holes
Dae-Il Choi, Bernard J. Kelly, William D. Boggs +3
Recoil ``kicks'' induced by gravitational radiation are expected in the inspiral and merger of black holes. Recently the numerical relativity community has begun to measure the sig…
Modeling kicks from the merger of non-precessing black-hole binaries
John G. Baker, William D. Boggs, Joan Centrella +4
Several groups have recently computed the gravitational radiation recoil produced by the merger of two spinning black holes. The results suggest that spin can be the dominant contr…
