Kohn-Luttinger Superconductivity in Twisted Bilayer Graphene

J. González, T. Stauber

We show that the recently observed superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) can be explained as a consequence of the Kohn-Luttinger (KL) instability which leads to an ef…

The Transient Gravitational-Wave Sky

Nils Andersson, John Baker, Kris Belczynski +44

Interferometric detectors will very soon give us an unprecedented view of the gravitational-wave sky, and in particular of the explosive and transient Universe. Now is the time to…

Black-hole binary simulations: the mass ratio 10:1

Jose A. Gonzalez, Ulrich Sperhake, Bernd Bruegmann

We present the first numerical simulations of an initially non-spinning black-hole binary with mass ratio as large as 10:1 in full general relativity. The binary completes approxim…

The high-energy collision of two black holes

U. Sperhake, V. Cardoso, F. Pretorius +2

We study the head-on collision of two highly boosted equal mass, nonrotating black holes. We determine the waveforms, radiated energies, and mode excitation in the center of mass f…

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…
