Quadratic Gravitational-Wave Scattering by Kerr Black Holes

Lennox S. Keeble, Hengrui Zhu, Lawrence E. Kidder +2

Second-order black-hole perturbation theory will be an important component of precision gravitational-wave modeling and tests of strong-field gravity with next-generation detectors…

Finite-Solid-Angle Boltzmann Radiation Transport on Dynamical Spacetimes in AthenaK

Hengrui Zhu, Alexander J. Dittmann, Lizhong Zhang +3

We extend the finite-solid-angle general relativistic radiation transport method of C. J. White et al. (2023) to time-dependent spacetimes represented in ADM form. This Valencia-ty…

Trapping, Irregular Waveforms, and Efficient Radiation in Ultra-relativistic Black Hole Encounters

Hengrui Zhu, Frans Pretorius, James M. Stone

We demonstrate that ultra-relativistic black hole encounters reveal a new regime of the two-body interaction in general relativity. Evolving equal-mass, nonspinning black holes wit…

AthenaK simulations of the binary black hole merger GW150914

David Radice, Rossella Gamba, Hengrui Zhu +1

We present new binary black hole simulations targeted to GW150914 using the GPU-accelerated code AthenaK. We compute the properties of the final remnant with the isolated horizon f…

Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment

Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Gregorio Carullo +65

The "ringdown" radiation emitted by oscillating black holes has great scientific potential. By carefully predicting the frequencies and amplitudes of black hole quasinormal modes a…

Performance-Portable Binary Neutron Star Mergers with AthenaK

Jacob Fields, Hengrui Zhu, David Radice +4

We introduce an extension to the AthenaK code for general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) in dynamical spacetimes using a 3+1 conservative Eulerian formulation. Like the…
