Large Merger Recoils and Spin Flips from Generic Black-Hole Binaries
We report the first results from evolutions of generic black-hole binaries, i.e. a binary containing unequal mass black holes with misaligned spins. Our configuration, which has a mass ratio of 2 : 1, consists of an initially non-spinning hole orbiting a larger, rapidly spinning hole (specific spin a/m = 0.885), with the spin direction oriented −45 with respect to the orbital plane. We track th...
متن کاملRemnant Masses, Spins and Recoils from the Merger of Generic Black-hole Binaries
We obtain empirical formulae to describe the final remnant black hole mass, spin, and recoil velocity for the remnant product of the merger of orbiting black-hole binaries with arbitrary mass ratios and spins. Our formulae are based on the post-Newtonian scaling with amplitude parameters chosen by a least-squares fit of recently available fully nonlinear numerical simulations and are relevant t...
متن کاملHigh-spin binary black hole mergers
We study identical mass black hole binaries with spins perpendicular to the binary’s orbital plane. These binaries have individual spins ranging from s=m2 0:90 to 0.90, (s1 s2 in all cases) which is near the limit possible with standard Bowen-York puncture initial data. The extreme cases correspond to the largest initial spin simulations to date. Our results expand the parameter space covered b...
متن کاملRecoil velocities from equal-mass binary-black-hole mergers.
The final evolution of a binary-black-hole system gives rise to a recoil velocity if an asymmetry is present in the emitted gravitational radiation. Measurements of this effect for nonspinning binaries with unequal masses have pointed out that kick velocities approximately 175 km/s can be reached for a mass ratio approximately 0.36. However, a larger recoil can be obtained for equal-mass binari...
متن کاملHangup kicks: still larger recoils by partial spin-orbit alignment of black-hole binaries.
We revisit the scenario of the gravitational radiation recoil acquired by the final remnant of a black-hole-binary merger by studying a set of configurations that have components of the spin both aligned with the orbital angular momentum and in the orbital plane. We perform a series of 42 new full numerical simulations for equal-mass and equal-spin-magnitude binaries. We extend previous recoil ...
