The location of the last stable orbit in Kerr spacetime
Leo C. Stein, Niels Warburton
Black hole spacetimes, like the Kerr spacetime, admit both stable and plunging orbits, separated in parameter space by the separatrix. Determining the location of the separatrix is…
Numerical relativity simulation of GW150914 beyond general relativity
Maria Okounkova, Leo C. Stein, Jordan Moxon +2
We produce the first astrophysically-relevant numerical binary black hole gravitational waveform in a higher-curvature theory of gravity beyond general relativity. We simulate a sy…
qnm: A Python package for calculating Kerr quasinormal modes, separation constants, and spherical-spheroidal mixing coefficients
Leo C. Stein
is an open-source Python package for computing the Kerr quasinormal mode frequencies, angular separation constants, and spherical-spheroidal mixing coefficients. The…
Numerical binary black hole collisions in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity
Maria Okounkova, Leo C. Stein, Mark A. Scheel +1
We produce the first numerical relativity binary black hole gravitational waveforms in a higher-curvature theory beyond general relativity. In particular, we study head-on collisio…
Surrogate models for precessing binary black hole simulations with unequal masses
Vijay Varma, Scott E. Field, Mark A. Scheel +5
Only numerical relativity simulations can capture the full complexities of binary black hole mergers. These simulations, however, are prohibitively expensive for direct data analys…
The SXS Collaboration catalog of binary black hole simulations
Michael Boyle, Daniel Hemberger, Dante A. B. Iozzo +37
Accurate models of gravitational waves from merging black holes are necessary for detectors to observe as many events as possible while extracting the maximum science. Near the tim…
