Recoil velocities from equal-mass binary black-hole mergers: a systematic investigation of spin-orbit aligned configurations
Denis Pollney, Christian Reisswig, Luciano Rezzolla +8
Binary black-hole systems with spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum are of special interest, as studies indicate that this configuration is preferred in nature. If the s…
Cactus Framework: Black Holes to Gamma Ray Bursts
Erik Schnetter, Christian D. Ott, Gabrielle Allen +5
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are intense narrowly-beamed flashes of gamma-rays of cosmological origin. They are among the most scientifically interesting astrophysical systems, and the…
Excision without excision: the relativistic turducken
David Brown, Olivier Sarbach, Erik Schnetter +4
to turducken (turduckens, turduckening, turduckened, turduckened) [math.]: To stuff a black hole. We analyze and apply an alternative to black hole excision based on smoothing the…
Phenomenological template family for black-hole coalescence waveforms
P. Ajith, S. Babak, Y. Chen +15
Recent progress in numerical relativity has enabled us to model the non-perturbative merger phase of the binary black-hole coalescence problem. Based on these results, we propose a…
Testing excision techniques for dynamical 3D black hole evolutions
Miguel Alcubierre, Bernd Bruegmann, Peter Diener +4
We perform both distorted black hole evolutions and binary black hole head on collisions and compare the results of using a full grid to results obtained by excising the black hole…
