Multipolar analysis of spinning binaries
E. Berti, V. Cardoso, J. A. Gonzalez +2
We present a preliminary study of the multipolar structure of gravitational radiation from spinning black hole binary mergers. We consider three different spinning binary configura…
Exploring black hole superkicks
Bernd Bruegmann, Jose Gonzalez, Mark Hannam +2
Recent calculations of the recoil velocity in black-hole binary mergers have found kick velocities of km/s for equal-mass binaries with anti-aligned initial spins in…
Reducing eccentricity in black-hole binary evolutions with initial parameters from post-Newtonian inspiral
Sascha Husa, Mark Hannam, Jose A. Gonzalez +2
Standard choices of quasi-circular orbit parameters for black-hole binary evolutions result in eccentric inspiral. We introduce a conceptually simple method, which is to integrate…
Reducing phase error in long numerical binary black hole evolutions with sixth order finite differencing
Sascha Husa, Jose A. Gonzalez, Mark Hannam +2
We describe a modification of a fourth-order accurate ``moving puncture'' evolution code, where by replacing spatial fourth-order accurate differencing operators in the bulk of the…
Where post-Newtonian and numerical-relativity waveforms meet
Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa, Jose A. Gonzalez +2
We analyze numerical-relativity (NR) waveforms that cover nine orbits (18 gravitational-wave cycles) before merger of an equal-mass system with low eccentricity, with numerical unc…
Inspiral, merger and ringdown of unequal mass black hole binaries: a multipolar analysis
Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Jose A. Gonzalez +4
We study the inspiral, merger and ringdown of unequal mass black hole binaries by analyzing a catalogue of numerical simulations for seven different values of the mass ratio (from…
