Binary Black Hole Encounters, Gravitational Bursts and Maximum Final Spin
M. C. Washik, J. Healy, F. Herrmann +4
The spin of the final black hole in the coalescence of nonspinning black holes is determined by the ``residual'' orbital angular momentum of the binary. This residual momentum cons…
Circularization and Final Spin in Eccentric Binary Black Hole Inspirals
Ian Hinder, Birjoo Vaishnav, Frank Herrmann +2
We present results from numerical relativity simulations of equal mass, non-spinning binary black hole inspirals and mergers with initial eccentricities e <= 0.8 and coordinate sep…
Binary Black Holes: Spin Dynamics and Gravitational Recoil
Frank Herrmann, Ian Hinder, Deirdre M. Shoemaker +2
We present a study of spinning black hole binaries focusing on the spin dynamics of the individual black holes as well as on the gravitational recoil acquired by the black hole pro…
Some Cosmological Tails of Collapse
Chris M. Chambers, Patrick R. Brady, William Krivan +1
We summarize the results of an investigation into the late time behavior of massless scalar fields propagating on spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes with a non-zero cosmol…
Dynamics of spin-2 fields in Kerr background geometries
W. Krivan, P. Laguna, P. Papadopoulos
We have developed a numerical method for evolving perturbations of rotating black holes. Solutions are obtained by integrating the Teukolsky equation written as a first-order in ti…
