Antikick Relation in High-Energy Head-On Collisions of Spinning Black Holes
Carlos O. Lousto, James Healy, Alessandro Ciarfella +1
The collision of black holes at relativistic speeds probes gravity in its most extreme dynamical regime. While the maximum gravitational recoil from \emph{grazing} high-energy coll…

The maximum radiated energy and final spin of high speed collision of two black holes
James Healy, Alessandro Ciarfella, Carlos O. Lousto
We performed a series of 769 full numerical simulations of high energy collision of black holes to search for the maximum gravitational energy emitted , during their merge…
