Recoil velocities from equal-mass binary black-hole mergers: a systematic investigation of spin-orbit aligned configurations
Denis Pollney, Christian Reisswig, Luciano Rezzolla +8
Binary black-hole systems with spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum are of special interest, as studies indicate that this configuration is preferred in nature. If the s…
Phenomenological template family for black-hole coalescence waveforms
P. Ajith, S. Babak, Y. Chen +15
Recent progress in numerical relativity has enabled us to model the non-perturbative merger phase of the binary black-hole coalescence problem. Based on these results, we propose a…
Recoil Velocities from Equal-Mass Binary-Black-Hole Mergers
Michael Koppitz, Denis Pollney, Christian Reisswig +4
The final evolution of a binary black-hole system gives rise to a recoil velocity if an asymmetry is present in the emitted gravitational radiation. Measurements of this effect for…
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…
How to move a black hole without excision: gauge conditions for the numerical evolution of a moving puncture
James R. van Meter, John G. Baker, Michael Koppitz +1
Recent demonstrations of unexcised black holes traversing across computational grids represent a significant advance in numerical relativity. Stable and accurate simulations of mul…
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…
