Gravitational properties of monopole spacetimes near the black hole threshold
Although nonsingular spacetimes and those containing black holes are qualitatively quite different, there are continuous families of configurations that connect the two. In this paper we use self-gravitating monopole solutions as tools for investigating the transition between these two types of spacetimes. We show how causally distinct regions emerge as the black hole limit is achieved, even th...
متن کاملNew Orthogonal Body–Fitting Coordinates for Colliding Black Hole Spacetimes
We describe a grid generation procedure designed to construct new classes of orthogonal coordinate systems for binary black hole spacetimes. The computed coordinates offer an alternative approach to current methods, in addition to providing a framework for potentially more stable and accurate evolutions of colliding black holes. As a particular example, we apply our procedure to generate approp...
متن کاملThe Current Status of Binary Black Hole Simulations in Numerical Relativity
Since the breakthroughs in 2005 which have led to long term stable solutions of the binary black hole problem in numerical relativity, much progress has been made. I present here a short summary of the state of the field, including the capabilities of numerical relativity codes, recent physical results obtained from simulations, and improvements to the methods used to evolve and analyse binary ...
متن کاملEffects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914
Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models differ from each other in their treatment of black hole spins, and all three models make some simplifying assumptions, notably to neglect sub-dominant waveform harmonic modes and orbital eccentricity. Furthermore, while th...
متن کاملCaged Black Holes: Black Holes in Compactified Spacetimes I – Theory
In backgrounds with compact dimensions there may exist several phases for black objects including the black-hole and the black-string, and the phase transition between them raises puzzles and touches fundamental issues such as topology change, uniqueness and cosmic censorship. No analytic solution is known for the black hole, and moreover, one can expect approximate solutions only for very smal...
