چکیده

We present results for two colliding black holes (BHs), with angular momentum, spin, and unequal mass. For the first time, gravitational waveforms are computed for a grazing collision from a full 3D numerical evolution. The collision can be followed through the merger to form a single BH, and through part of the ringdown period of the final BH. The apparent horizon is tracked and studied, and physical parameters, such as the mass of the final BH, are computed. The total energy radiated in gravitational waves is shown to be consistent with the total initial mass of the spacetime and the apparent horizon mass of the final BH.

Grazing collisions of black holes via the excision of singularities.

We present the first simulations of non-head-on (grazing) collisions of binary black holes in which the singularities are excised from the simulation. Initially equal mass m black holes (spinning or not) are separated by approximately 10m and with impact parameter approximately 2m. Evolutions to t approximately 35m are obtained where two separate horizons are present for t approximately 3.8m; t...

Numerical Study of 3d Rotating Black Hole Spacetimes By

We present new developments in 3D numerical relativity that bring the field for the first time close to providing useful astrophysical information about the orbital merger of binary black holes relevant for interferometric gravitational wave detectors, coming on line by the end of 2001. Our study begins with two different families of black hole initial data, a new single distorted spinning blac...

3 Initial Value Problem II : Non - Axisymmetric Distorted Black Holes

We present a new class of 3D black hole initial data sets for numerical relativity. These data sets go beyond the axisymmetric, " gravity wave plus rotating black hole " single black hole data sets by creating a dynamic, distorted hole with adjustable distortion parameters in 3D. These data sets extend our existing test beds for 3D numerical relativity, representing the late stages of binary bl...
