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…
Black hole puncture initial data with realistic gravitational wave content
Bernard J Kelly, Wolfgang Tichy, Manuela Campanelli +1
We present improved post-Newtonian-inspired initial data for non-spinning black-hole binaries, suitable for numerical evolution with punctures. We revisit the work of Tichy et al.…
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…
