Second order perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole: inclusion of odd parity perturbations
Carlos O. Nicasio, Reinaldo Gleiser, Jorge Pullin
We consider perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole that can be of both even and odd parity, keeping terms up to second order in perturbation theory, for the axisymmet…
Colliding black holes: how far can the close approximation go?
Reinaldo Gleiser, Oscar Nicasio, Richard Price +1
We study the head-on collision of two equal-mass momentarily stationary black holes, using black hole perturbation theory up to second order. Compared to first-order results, this…
Second order perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole
Reinaldo Gleiser, Oscar Nicasio, Richard Price +1
We study the even-parity perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole to second order. The Einstein equations can be reduced to a single linear wave equation with a potenti…
Black hole collisions from Brill-Lindquist initial data: predictions of perturbation theory
A. M. Abrahams, R. H. Price
The Misner initial value solution for two momentarily stationary black holes has been the focus of much numerical study. We report here analytic results for an astrophysically simi…
The Escape of Gravitational Radiation from the Field of Massive Bodies
Richard H. Price, Jorge Pullin, Prasun Kundu
We consider a compact source of gravitational waves of frequency , in or near a massive spherically symmetric distribution of matter or a black hole. Recent calculations have le…
The Emergence of Radiation from Gravitational Potential Wells: The Absence of Effects
Richard H. Price, Jorge Pullin
We consider a source of gravitational waves of frequency , located near the center of a massive galaxy of mass and radius , with . In the case of a perfect f…
