Extreme-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 کاملMaximum black-hole spin from quasicircular binary mergers
Black holes of mass M must have a spin angular momentum S below the Kerr limit ( S=M 1), but whether astrophysical black holes can attain this limiting spin depends on their accretion history. Gas accretion from a thin disk limits the black-hole spin to gas & 0:9980 0:0002, as electromagnetic radiation from this disk with retrograde angular momentum is preferentially absorbed by the black hole....
متن کاملFinal mass and spin of black-hole mergers
We consider black holes resulting from binary black-hole mergers. By fitting to numerical results we construct analytic formulas that predict the mass and spin of the final black hole. Our formulas are valid for arbitrary initial spins and mass ratios and agree well with available numerical simulations. We use our spin formula in the context of two common merger scenarios for supermassive galac...
متن کاملSimulations of unequal-mass black hole binaries with spectral methods
This paper presents techniques and results for simulations of unequal-mass, nonspinning binary black holes with pseudospectral methods. Specifically, we develop an efficient root-finding procedure to ensure the black hole initial data have the desired masses and spins; we extend the dual coordinate frame method and eccentricity removal to asymmetric binaries. Furthermore, we describe techniques...

متن کاملQuasiequilibrium sequences of black-hole–neutron-star binaries in general relativity
We construct quasiequilibrium sequences of black hole-neutron star binaries for arbitrary mass ratios by solving the constraint equations of general relativity in the conformal thin-sandwich decomposition. We model the neutron star as a stationary polytrope satisfying the relativistic equations of hydrodynamics, and account for the black hole by imposing equilibrium boundary conditions on the s...
