Superkicks in Hyperbolic Encounters of Binary Black Holes
James Healy, Frank Herrmann, Ian Hinder +3
Generic inspirals and mergers of binary black holes produce beamed emission of gravitational radiation that can lead to a gravitational recoil or kick of the final black hole. The…
Comparisons of eccentric binary black hole simulations with post-Newtonian models
Ian Hinder, Frank Herrmann, Pablo Laguna +1
We present the first comparison between numerical relativity (NR) simulations of an eccentric binary black hole system with corresponding post-Newtonian (PN) results. We evolve an…
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…
