Binary Black Hole Coalescence |
I will describe an ongoing effort to simulate the merger of binary black hole systems using a technique based on generalized harmonic coordinates. Topics covered may include evolution of Cook-Pfeiffer quasi-circular inspiral data sets, binaries constructed via scalar field collapse and comparisons of the resultant waveforms to those calculated with perturbative techniques. |
