Modeling the dynamics of tidally-interacting binary neutron stars up to merger
Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Alessandro Nagar, Tim Dietrich +1
The data analysis of the gravitational wave signals emitted by coalescing neutron star binaries requires the availability of an accurate analytical representation of the dynamics a…
The antikick strikes back: recoil velocities for nearly-extremal binary black hole mergers in the test-mass limit
Alessandro Nagar, Enno Harms, Sebastiano Bernuzzi +1
Gravitational waves emitted from a generic binary black-hole merger carry away linear momentum anisotropically, resulting in a gravitational recoil, or "kick", of the center of mas…
A new analytic representation of the ringdown waveform of coalescing spinning black hole binaries
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar
We propose a new way of analyzing, and analytically representing, the ringdown part of the gravitational wave signal emitted by coalescing black hole binaries.By contrast with the…
A new effective-one-body description of coalescing nonprecessing spinning black-hole binaries
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar
We present a new, tunable effective-one-body (EOB) model of the motion and radiation of coalescing black hole binaries with arbitrary mass ratio and aligned spins. The most novel f…
A new gravitational wave generation algorithm for particle perturbations of the Kerr spacetime
Enno Harms, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Alessandro Nagar +1
We present a new approach to solve the 2+1 Teukolsky equation for gravitational perturbations of a Kerr black hole. Our approach relies on a new horizon penetrating, hyperboloidal…
Strong-Field Scattering of Two Black Holes: Numerics Versus Analytics
Thibault Damour, Federico Guercilena, Ian Hinder +3
We probe the gravitational interaction of two black holes in the strong-field regime by computing the scattering angle of hyperbolic-like, close binary-black-hole encounters as…
