Strong-field tidal distortions of rotating black holes: III. Embeddings in hyperbolic 3-space
Robert F. Penna, Scott A. Hughes, Stephen O'Sullivan
In previous work, we developed tools for quantifying the tidal distortion of a black hole's event horizon due to an orbiting companion. These tools use techniques which require lar…
Strong-field tidal distortions of rotating black holes: II. Horizon dynamics from eccentric and inclined orbits
Stephen O'Sullivan, Scott A. Hughes
In a previous paper, we developed tools for studying the horizon geometry of a Kerr black hole that is tidally distorted by a binary companion using techniques that require large m…
Strong-field tidal distortions of rotating black holes: Formalism and results for circular, equatorial orbits
Stephen O'Sullivan, Scott A. Hughes
Tidal coupling between members of a compact binary system can have an interesting and important influence on that binary's dynamical inspiral. Tidal coupling also distorts the bina…
Modeling multipolar gravitational-wave emission from small mass-ratio mergers
Enrico Barausse, Alessandra Buonanno, Scott A. Hughes +3
Using the effective-one-body (EOB) formalism and a time-domain Teukolsky code, we generate inspiral, merger, and ringdown waveforms in the small mass-ratio limit. We use EOB inspir…
