Comparing Fully General Relativistic and Newtonian Calculations of Structure Formation
William E. East, Radosław Wojtak, Tom Abel
In the standard approach to studying cosmological structure formation, the overall expansion of the Universe is assumed to be homogeneous, with the gravitational effect of inhomoge…
Can we distinguish low mass black holes in neutron star binaries?
Huan Yang, William E. East, Luis Lehner
The detection of gravitational waves from coalescing binary neutron stars represents another milestone in gravitational-wave astronomy. However, since LIGO is currently not as sens…
Superradiant instability of massive vector fields around spinning black holes in the relativistic regime
William E. East
We study the superradiant instability of massive vector fields, i.e. Proca fields, around spinning black holes in the test field limit. This is motivated by the possibility that ob…
Superradiant Instability and Backreaction of Massive Vector Fields around Kerr Black Holes
William E. East, Frans Pretorius
We study the growth and saturation of the superradiant instability of a complex, massive vector (Proca) field as it extracts energy and angular momentum from a spinning black hole,…
