Fundamental frequencies and resonances from eccentric and precessing binary black hole inspirals
Adam G. M. Lewis, Aaron Zimmerman, Harald P. Pfeiffer
Binary black holes which are both eccentric and undergo precession remain unexplored in numerical simulations. We present simulations of such systems which cover about 50 orbits at…
Transient Instability of Rapidly Rotating Black Holes
Samuel E. Gralla, Aaron Zimmerman, Peter Zimmerman
We analytically study the linear response of a near-extremal Kerr black hole to external scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational field perturbations. We show that the energy den…
Redshift factor and the first law of binary black hole mechanics in numerical simulations
Aaron Zimmerman, Adam G. M. Lewis, Harald P. Pfeiffer
The redshift factor is an invariant quantity of fundamental interest in post-Newtonian and self-force descriptions of compact binaries. It connects different approximation sche…
