Approximate black hole binary spacetime via asymptotic matching
Bruno C. Mundim, Hiroyuki Nakano, Nicolás Yunes +3
We construct a fully analytic, general relativistic, nonspinning black hole binary spacetime that approximately solves the vacuum Einstein equations everywhere in space and time fo…
Study of Conformally Flat Initial Data for Highly Spinning Black Holes and their Early Evolutions
Carlos O. Lousto, Hiroyuki Nakano, Yosef Zlochower +2
We study conformally-flat initial data for an arbitrary number of spinning black holes with exact analytic solutions to the momentum constraints constructed from a linear combinati…
Statistical studies of Spinning Black-Hole Binaries
Carlos O. Lousto, Hiroyuki Nakano, Yosef Zlochower +1
We study the statistical distributions of the spins of generic black-hole binaries during the inspiral and merger, as well as the distributions of the remnant mass, spin, and recoi…
Algebraic Classification of Numerical Spacetimes and Black-Hole-Binary Remnants
Manuela Campanelli, Carlos O. Lousto, Yosef Zlochower
In this paper we develop a technique for determining the algebraic classification of a numerical spacetime, possibly resulting from a generic black-hole-binary merger, using the Ne…
The last orbit of binary black holes
M. Campanelli, C. O. Lousto, Y. Zlochower
We have used our new technique for fully numerical evolutions of orbiting black-hole binaries without excision to model the last orbit and merger of an equal-mass black-hole system…
Binary black hole initial data for numerical general relativity based on post-Newtonian data
W. Tichy, B. Bruegmann, M. Campanelli +1
With the goal of taking a step toward the construction of astrophysically realistic initial data for numerical simulations of black holes, we for the first time derive a family of…
