Black hole binaries and light fields: Gravitational molecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that light scalars can form quasibound states around binaries. In the nonrelativistic regime, these are formally described by quantum-mechanical Schr\"odinger equation for a one-electron heteronuclear diatomic molecule. performed extensive numerical simulations of scalar fields black hole binaries, showing structure condenses binary---we dub ``gravitational molecules.'' further well perturbative, description.

Gravitational Radiation from Black Hole Binaries in Globular Clusters
A populations of stellar mass black hole binaries may exist in globular clusters. The dynamics of globular cluster evolution imply that there may be at most one black hole binary is a globular cluster. The population of binaries are expected to have orbital periods greater than a few hours and to have a thermal distribution of eccentricities. In the LISA band, the gravitational wave signal from...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation from Mergers of Black Hole–neutron Star Binaries
Angular momentum loss via the emission of gravitational waves must eventually drive compact binaries containing black holes and/or neutron stars to coalesce. The resulting events are primary candidate sources for detectors such as VIRGO and LIGO. We present calculations of gravitational radiation waveforms and luminosities for the coalescence of a black hole-neutron star binary, performed in th...
متن کاملGravitational radiation characteristics of nonspinning black-hole binaries
We present a detailed descriptive analysis of the gravitational radiation from binary mergers of non-spinning black holes, based on numerical relativity simulations of systems varying from equal-mass to a 6:1 mass ratio. Our analysis covers amplitude and phase characteristics of the radiation, suggesting a unified picture of the waveforms’ dominant features in terms of an implicit rotating sour...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Coalescing Black Hole Macho Binaries
If MACHOs are black holes of mass ∼0.5 M,, they must have been formed in the early universe when the temperature was ∼1 GeV. We estimate that in this case in our Galaxy’s halo out to ∼ 50 kpc there exist ∼5 # black hole binaries the coalescence times of which are comparable to the age of the universe, so that the 8 10 coalescence rate will be ∼ events yr per galaxy. This suggests that we can ex...
متن کاملLocalizing coalescing massive black hole binaries with gravitational waves
Massive black hole binary coalescences are prime targets for space-based gravitational wave (GW) observatories such as LISA. GW measurements can localize the position of a coalescing binary on the sky to an ellipse with a major axis of a few tens of arcminutes to a few degrees, depending on source redshift, and a minor axis which is 2 − 4 times smaller. Neglecting weak gravitational lensing, th...
