Head-on collisions of unequal mass black holes in D=5 dimensions
Helvi Witek, Vitor Cardoso, Leonardo Gualtieri +3
We study head-on collisions of unequal mass black hole binaries in D=5 space-time dimensions, with mass ratios between 1:1 and 1:4. Information about gravitational radiation is ext…
Numerical relativity for D dimensional space-times: head-on collisions of black holes and gravitational wave extraction
Helvi Witek, Miguel Zilhao, Leonardo Gualtieri +4
Black objects in higher dimensional space-times have a remarkably richer structure than their four dimensional counterparts. They appear in a variety of configurations (e.g. black…
Black holes in a box: towards the numerical evolution of black holes in AdS
Helvi Witek, Vitor Cardoso, Carlos Herdeiro +3
The evolution of black holes in "confining boxes" is interesting for a number of reasons, particularly because it mimics the global structure of Anti-de Sitter geometries. These ar…
Numerical relativity for D dimensional axially symmetric space-times: formalism and code tests
Miguel Zilhao, Helvi Witek, Ulrich Sperhake +4
The numerical evolution of Einstein's field equations in a generic background has the potential to answer a variety of important questions in physics: from applications to the gaug…
