A fourth order convergent numerical algortihm to integrate nonrotating binary black hole perturbations in the extreme mass ratio limit

چکیده
Abstract. We obtain a fourth order accurate numerical algorithm to integrate the Zerilli and Regge-Wheeler wave equations, describing perturbations of nonrotating black holes, with source terms due to an orbiting particle. Those source terms contain Dirac’s delta and its first derivative. We also rederive the source of the Zerilli and Regge-Wheeler equations for more convenient definitions of the waveforms, that allow direct metric reconstruction (in the Regge-Wheeler gauge).

متن کاملBinary black hole merger in the extreme mass ratio limit
We discuss the transition from quasi-circular inspiral to plunge of a system of two nonrotating black holes of masses m1 and m2 in the extreme mass ratio limit m1m2 ≪ (m1+m2). In the spirit of the Effective One Body (EOB) approach to the general relativistic dynamics of binary systems, the dynamics of the two black hole system is represented in terms of an effective particle of mass μ ≡ m1m2/(m...
متن کاملConstruction of the second-order gravitational perturbations produced by a compact object
Accurate calculation of the gradual inspiral motion in an extreme mass-ratio binary system, in which a compact-object inspirals towards a supermassive black-hole requires calculation of the interaction between the compact-object and the gravitational perturbations that it induces. These metric perturbations satisfy linear partial differential equations on a curved background spacetime induced b...
متن کاملResonant recoil in extreme mass ratio binary black hole mergers
The inspiral and merger of a binary black hole system generally leads to an asymmetric distribution of emitted radiation, and hence a recoil of the remnant black hole directed opposite to the net linear momentum radiated. The recoil velocity is generally largest for comparable mass black holes and particular spin configurations, and approaches zero in the extreme mass ratio limit. It is general...
متن کاملRegular second order perturbations of extreme mass ratio black hole binaries
We report on the first results of self-consistent second order metric perturbations produced by a point particle moving in the Schwarzschild spacetime. The second order waveforms satisfy a wave equation with an effective source term build up from products of first order metric perturbations and its derivatives. We have explicitly regularized this source term at the particle location as well as ...
