Binary black hole late inspiral: Simulations for gravitational wave observations
John G. Baker, Sean T. McWilliams, James R. van Meter +4
Coalescing binary black hole mergers are expected to be the strongest gravitational wave sources for ground-based interferometers, such as the LIGO, VIRGO, and GEO600, as well as t…
Consistency of post-Newtonian waveforms with numerical relativity
John G. Baker, James R. van Meter, Sean T. McWilliams +2
General relativity predicts the gravitational wave signatures of coalescing binary black holes. Explicit waveform predictions for such systems, required for optimal analysis of obs…
The Final Merger of Comparable Mass Binary Black Holes
Joan M. Centrella
A remarkable series of breakthroughs in numerical relativity modeling of black hole binary mergers has occurred over the past few years. This paper provides a general overview of t…
Getting a kick out of numerical relativity
John G. Baker, Joan Centrella, Dae-Il Choi +3
Recent developments in numerical relativity have made it possible to follow reliably the coalescence of two black holes from near the innermost stable circular orbit to final ringd…
Binary black hole merger dynamics and waveforms
John G. Baker, Joan Centrella, Dae-Il Choi +2
We study dynamics and radiation generation in the last few orbits and merger of a binary black hole system, applying recently developed techniques for simulations of moving black h…
