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 ...

Spontaneous scalarization with massive fields
Ramazanoğlu, Fethi M; Pretorius, Frans (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2016-03-03)We study the effect of a mass term in the spontaneous scalarization of neutron stars, for a wide range of scalar field parameters and neutron star equations of state. Even though massless scalars have been the focus of ...
