Beyond the Bowen-York extrinsic curvature for spinning black holes
Mark Hannam, Sascha Husa, Bernd Bruegmann +2
It is well-known that Bowen-York initial data contain spurious radiation. Although this ``junk'' radiation has been seen to be small for non-spinning black-hole binaries in circula…
Calibration of Moving Puncture Simulations
Bernd Bruegmann, Jose A. Gonzalez, Mark Hannam +3
We present single and binary black hole simulations that follow the moving puncture paradigm of simulating black-hole spacetimes without excision, and use moving boxes mesh refinem…
Total recoil: the maximum kick from nonspinning black-hole binary inspiral
Jose A. Gonzalez, Ulrich Sperhake, Bernd Bruegmann +2
When unequal-mass black holes merge, the final black hole receives a ``kick'' due to the asymmetric loss of linear momentum in the gravitational radiation emitted during the merger…
