Energetics and phasing of nonprecessing spinning coalescing black hole binaries
We present an improved numerical relativity (NR) calibration of the new effective-one-body (EOB) model for coalescing non precessing spinning black hole binaries recently introduced by Damour and Nagar [Physical Review D 90, 044018 (2014)]. We do so by comparing the EOB predictions to both the phasing and the energetics provided by two independent sets of NR data covering mass ratios 1 ≤ q ≤ 9....

متن کاملGravitational Waves from Coalescing Black Hole Macho Binaries
If MACHOs are black holes of mass ∼0.5 M,, they must have been formed in the early universe when the temperature was ∼1 GeV. We estimate that in this case in our Galaxy’s halo out to ∼ 50 kpc there exist ∼5 # black hole binaries the coalescence times of which are comparable to the age of the universe, so that the 8 10 coalescence rate will be ∼ events yr per galaxy. This suggests that we can ex...
متن کاملLocalizing coalescing massive black hole binaries with gravitational waves
Massive black hole binary coalescences are prime targets for space-based gravitational wave (GW) observatories such as LISA. GW measurements can localize the position of a coalescing binary on the sky to an ellipse with a major axis of a few tens of arcminutes to a few degrees, depending on source redshift, and a minor axis which is 2 − 4 times smaller. Neglecting weak gravitational lensing, th...
متن کاملGravitational Recoil of Inspiralling Black-Hole Binaries to Second Post-Newtonian Order
The loss of linear momentum by gravitational radiation and the resulting gravitational recoil of black-hole binary systems may play an important role in the growth of massive black holes in early galaxies. We calculate the gravitational recoil of nonspinning black-hole binaries at the second post-Newtonian order (2PN) beyond the dominant effect, obtaining, for the first time, the 1.5PN correcti...
