Binary black hole evolutions of approximate puncture initial data
Tanja Bode, Pablo Laguna, Deirdre M. Shoemaker +3
Approximate solutions to the Einstein field equations are a valuable tool to investigate gravitational phenomena. An important aspect of any approximation is to investigate and qua…
Superkicks in Hyperbolic Encounters of Binary Black Holes
James Healy, Frank Herrmann, Ian Hinder +3
Generic inspirals and mergers of binary black holes produce beamed emission of gravitational radiation that can lead to a gravitational recoil or kick of the final black hole. The…
Numerical Relativity meets Data Analysis: Spinning Binary Black Hole Case
Deirdre Shoemaker, Birjoo Vaishnav, Ian Hinder +1
We present a study of the gravitational waveforms from a series of spinning, equal-mass black hole binaries focusing on the harmonic content of the waves and the contribution of th…
Binary Black Hole Encounters, Gravitational Bursts and Maximum Final Spin
M. C. Washik, J. Healy, F. Herrmann +4
The spin of the final black hole in the coalescence of nonspinning black holes is determined by the ``residual'' orbital angular momentum of the binary. This residual momentum cons…
Probing the Binary Black Hole Merger Regime with Scalar Perturbations
Eloisa Bentivegna, Deirdre M. Shoemaker, Ian Hinder +1
We present results obtained by scattering a scalar field off the curved background of a coalescing binary black hole system. A massless scalar field is evolved on a set of fixed ba…
Robustness of Binary Black Hole Mergers in the Presence of Spurious Radiation
Tanja Bode, Deirdre Shoemaker, Frank Herrmann +1
We present an investigation into how sensitive the last orbits and merger of binary black hole systems are to the presence of spurious radiation in the initial data. Our numerical…
