The final spin from the coalescence of aligned-spin black-hole binaries
Luciano Rezzolla, Peter Diener, Ernst Nils Dorband +4
Determining the final spin of a black-hole (BH) binary is a question of key importance in astrophysics. Modelling this quantity in general is made difficult by the fact that it dep…
A template bank for gravitational waveforms from coalescing binary black holes: non-spinning binaries
P. Ajith, S. Babak, Y. Chen +15
Gravitational waveforms from the inspiral and ring-down stages of the binary black hole coalescences can be modelled accurately by approximation/perturbation techniques in general…
Spin Diagrams for Equal-Mass Black-Hole Binaries with Aligned Spins
Luciano Rezzolla, Ernst Nils Dorband, Christian Reisswig +4
Binary black-hole systems with spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum are of special interest as they may be the preferred end-state of the inspiral of generic supermassiv…
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…
