Extreme mass ratio head-on collisions of black holes in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory
Antonia M. Frassino, David C. Lopes, Jorge V. Rocha
The evolution of the event horizon when two black holes merge can be determined by resorting to ray-tracing techniques on a single black hole spacetime, under the assumption that t…

The impact of higher derivative corrections to General Relativity on black hole mergers
João M. Dias, Antonia M. Frassino, David C. Lopes +2
The merging of two black holes is a notoriously difficult process to describe exactly. Nevertheless, the hindrances posed by gravity's nonlinearity can be circumvented by focusing…
