  • A multi-timescale analysis of phase transitions in precessing black-hole binaries 

    Gerosa, Davide; Kesden, Michael; Sperhake, Ulrich; Berti, Emanuele; O'Shaughnessy, Richard (APSPhysical Review D, 2015-09-14)
    The dynamics of precessing binary black holes (BBHs) in the post-Newtonian regime has a strong timescale hierarchy: the orbital timescale is very short compared to the spin-precession timescale which, in turn, is much ...

  • Distinguishing black-hole spin-orbit resonances by their gravitational wave signatures. II: Full parameter estimation 

    Trifirò, Daniele; O'Shaughnessy, Richard; Gerosa, Davide; Berti, Emanuele; Kesden, Michael; Littenberg, Tyson; Sperhake, Ulrich (American Physical Society, 2016)
    Gravitational waves from coalescing binary black holes encode the evolution of their spins prior to merger. In the post-Newtonian regime and on the precession timescale, this evolution has one of three morphologies, with ...

  • Gravity-dominated unequal-mass black hole collisions 

    Sperhake, Ulrich; Berti, Emanuele; Cardoso, Vitor; Pretorius, Frans (APSPhysical Review D, 2016-02-04)
    We continue our series of studies of high-energy collisions of black holes investigating unequalmass, boosted head-on collisions in four dimensions. We show that the fraction of the center-of-mass energy radiated as ...

  • Multi-timescale analysis of phase transitions in precessing black-hole binaries 

    Gerosa, Davide; Kesden, Michael; Sperhake, Ulrich; Berti, Emanuele; O'Shaughnessy, Richard (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2015)
    The dynamics of precessing binary black holes (BBHs) in the post-Newtonian regime has a strong timescale hierarchy: the orbital timescale is very short compared to the spin-precession timescale which, in turn, is much ...

  • Numerical Relativity and High Energy Physics: Recent Developments 

    Berti, Emanuele; Cardoso, Vitor; Crispino, Luis CB; Gualtieri, Leonardo; Herdeiro, Carlos; Sperhake, Ulrich (World ScientificInternational Journal of Modern Physics D, 2016-07-15)
    We review recent progress in the application of numerical relativity techniques to astrophysics and high-energy physics. We focus on recent developments regarding the spin evolution in black hole binaries, high-energy black ...

  • Precessional instability in binary black holes with aligned spins 

    Gerosa, Davide; Kesden, Michael; O'Shaughnessy, Richard; Klein, Antoine; Berti, Emanuele; Sperhake, Ulrich; Trifirò, Daniele (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review Letters, 2015-10-02)
    Binary black holes on quasicircular orbits with spins aligned with their orbital angular momentum have been testbeds for analytic and numerical relativity for decades, not least because symmetry ensures that such configurations ...
