Inside the Final Black Hole: Puncture and Trapped Surface Dynamics
Christopher Evans, Deborah Ferguson, Bhavesh Khamesra +2
A popular approach in numerical simulations of black hole binaries is to model black holes as punctures in the fabric of spacetime. The location and the properties of the black hol…
Targeted numerical simulations of binary black holes for GW170104
James Healy, Jacob Lange, Richard O'Shaughnessy +22
In response to LIGO's observation of GW170104, we performed a series of full numerical simulations of binary black holes, each designed to replicate likely realizations of its dyna…
Ultra-Close Encounters of Stars With Massive Black Holes: Tidal Disruption Events With Prompt Hyperaccretion
Christopher Evans, Pablo Laguna, Michael Eracleous
A bright flare from a galactic nucleus followed at late times by a decay in luminosity is often considered the signature of the complete tidal disruption of a star by a…
