Late-time tails in nonlinear evolutions of merging black holes
Marina De Amicis, Hannes Rüter, Gregorio Carullo +17
We uncover late-time gravitational-wave tails in fully nonlinear 3+1 dimensional numerical relativity simulations of merging black holes, using the highly accurate SpEC code. We ac…
Merging black holes with Cauchy-characteristic matching: Computation of late-time tails
Sizheng Ma, Mark A. Scheel, Jordan Moxon +5
Cauchy-characteristic matching (CCM) is a numerical-relativity technique that solves Einstein's equations on an effectively infinite computational domain, thereby eliminating syste…

Matthew Giesler, Sizheng Ma, Keefe Mitman +11
Using high-accuracy numerical relativity waveforms, we confirm the presence of numerous overtones of the , quasinormal mode early in the ringdown of binary black hole…
Echoes from beyond: Detecting gravitational-wave quantum imprints with LISA
Nils Deppe, Lavinia Heisenberg, Henri Inchauspé +7
We assess the prospects for detecting gravitational wave echoes arising due to the quantum nature of black hole horizons with LISA. In a recent proposal, Bekenstein's black hole ar…

Geoffrey Lovelace, Kyle C. Nelli, Nils Deppe +28
Binary black holes are the most abundant source of gravitational-wave observations. Gravitational-wave observatories in the next decade will require tremendous increases in the acc…

Numerical relativists can now produce gravitational waveforms with memory effects routinely and accurately. The gravitational-wave memory effect contains very low-frequency compone…
A Review of Gravitational Memory and BMS Frame Fixing in Numerical Relativity
Keefe Mitman, Michael Boyle, Leo C. Stein +8
Gravitational memory effects and the BMS freedoms exhibited at future null infinity have recently been resolved and utilized in numerical relativity simulations. With this, gravita…
General relativistic force-free electrodynamics with a discontinuous Galerkin-finite difference hybrid method
Yoonsoo Kim, Elias R. Most, William Throwe +2
Relativistic plasmas around compact objects can sometimes be approximated as being force-free. In this limit, the plasma inertia is negligible and the overall dynamics is governed…
Scalarization of isolated black holes in scalar Gauss-Bonnet theory in the fixing-the-equations approach
Guillermo Lara, Harald P. Pfeiffer, Nikolas A. Wittek +6
One of the most promising avenues to perform numerical evolutions in theories beyond General Relativity is the fixing-the-equations approach, a proposal in which new ``driver'' equ…
Striking the right tone: toward a self-consistent framework for measuring black hole ringdowns

The ringdown portion of a binary black hole merger consists of a sum of modes, each containing an infinite number of tones that are exponentially damped sinusoids. In principle, th…
