Bi-orthogonal harmonics for the decomposition of gravitational radiation II: applications for extreme and comparable mass-ratio black hole binaries
L. London, S. A. Hughes
The estimation of a physical system's normal modes is a fundamental problem in physics. The quasi-normal modes of perturbed Kerr black holes, with their related spheroidal harmonic…
Measuring quasi-normal mode amplitudes with misaligned binary black hole ringdowns
Halston Lim, Gaurav Khanna, Scott A. Hughes
In recent work, we examined how different modes in the ringdown phase of a binary coalescence are excited as a function of the final plunge geometry. At least in the large mass rat…
Surrogate model for gravitational wave signals from non-spinning, comparable- to large-mass-ratio black hole binaries built on black hole perturbation theory waveforms calibrated to numerical relativity
Tousif Islam, Scott E. Field, Scott A. Hughes +6
We present a reduced-order surrogate model of gravitational waveforms from non-spinning binary black hole systems with comparable to large mass-ratio configurations. This surrogate…
Precisely computing bound orbits of spinning bodies around black holes II: Generic orbits
Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes
In this paper, we continue our study of the motion of spinning test bodies orbiting Kerr black holes. Non-spinning test bodies follow geodesics of the spacetime in which they move.…
Precisely computing bound orbits of spinning bodies around black holes I: General framework and results for nearly equatorial orbits
Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes
Very large mass ratio binary black hole systems are of interest both as a clean limit of the two-body problem in general relativity, as well as for their importance as sources of l…
