Cross section, final spin and zoom-whirl behavior in high-energy black hole collisions
U. Sperhake, V. Cardoso, F. Pretorius +3
We study the collision of two highly boosted equal mass, nonrotating black holes with generic impact parameter. We find such systems to exhibit zoom-whirl behavior when fine tuning…
Two timescale analysis of extreme mass ratio inspirals in Kerr. I. Orbital Motion
Tanja Hinderer, Eanna E. Flanagan
Inspirals of stellar mass compact objects into massive black holes are an important source for future gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO and LISA. Detection of thes…
Tidal Love numbers of neutron stars
Tanja Hinderer
For a variety of fully relativistic polytropic neutron star models we calculate the star's tidal Love number k2. Most realistic equations of state for neutron stars can be approxim…
Constraining neutron star tidal Love numbers with gravitational wave detectors
Eanna E. Flanagan, Tanja Hinderer
Ground-based gravitational wave detectors may be able to constrain the nuclear equation of state using the early, low frequency portion of the signal of detected neutron star - neu…
