Conformal-Mapping Method for Horizon Multipoles in Numerical Relativity: Implementation, Kerr Validation, and Applications Beyond Axisymmetry
Yeong-Bok Bae, Young-Hwan Hyun, Gungwon Kang
We present a numerical method that constructs geometrically defined coordinates on black-hole horizons, from which the multipole moments are computed without assuming axisymmetry.…

Search for dynamical black hole captures with Gaussian mixture modelling
Leigh Smith, Shubhanshu Tiwari, Michael Ebersold +3
Gravitational waves (GWs) are expected to originate from black holes interacting dynamically in dense astrophysical environments. In such environments, given that the velocity and…
