Eccentricity content of binary black hole initial data
Using a post-Newtonian diagnostic tool developed by Mora and Will, we examine numerically generated quasiequilibrium initial data sets that have been used in recently successful numerical evolutions of binary black holes through plunge, merger and ringdown. We show that a small but significant orbital eccentricity is required to match post-Newtonian and quasiequilibrium calculations. If this pr...
متن کاملExtreme-Mass-Ratio-Black-Hole-Binary Evolutions with Numerical Relativity
We perform the first fully nonlinear numerical simulations of black-hole binaries with mass ratios 100:1. Our technique is based on the moving puncture formalism with a new gauge condition and an optimal choice of the mesh refinement. The evolutions start with a small nonspinning black hole just outside the ISCO that orbits twice before plunging. We compute the gravitational radiation, as well ...
متن کاملBinary black-hole evolutions of excision and puncture data
We present a new numerical code developed for the evolution of binary black-hole spacetimes using different initial data and evolution techniques. The code is demonstrated to produce state-of-theart simulations of orbiting and inspiralling black-hole binaries with convergent waveforms. We also present the first detailed study of the dependence of gravitational waveforms resulting from threedime...
متن کاملNew Coordinate Systems for Axisymmetric Black Hole Collisions
The two–body problem is a milestone in numerical relativity that has not yet been attained. Even the relatively simple case of the head–on collision of two equal mass, non-rotating black holes remains uncertain for black holes that are initially separated by large distances. By exploiting the 2–dimensional nature of the problem, the obvious first choice of coordinates in which to solve the Eins...
متن کاملKey Elements of Robustness in Binary Black Hole Evolutions using Spectral Methods
As a network of advanced-era gravitational wave detectors is nearing its design sensitivity, efficient and accurate waveform modeling becomes more and more relevant. Understanding of the nature of the signal being sought can have an order unity effect on the event rates seen in these instruments. The paper provides a description of key elements of the Spectral Einstein Code (SpEC), with details...
