LISA parameter estimation using numerical merger waveforms
J. I. Thorpe, S. T. McWilliams, B. J. Kelly +3
Recent advances in numerical relativity provide a detailed description of the waveforms of coalescing massive black hole binaries (MBHBs), expected to be the strongest detectable L…
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…
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…
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…
