Journal ArticleDOI

Mass-ratio and Magnetic Flux Dependence of Modulated Accretion from Circumbinary Disks

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the sensitivity of the overdensity to SMBBH mass ratio and magnetic flux through the accretion disk and find that the relative amplitude of the overdensity and its associated EM periodic signal both degrade with diminishing mass ratio, vanishing altogether somewhere between 1:2 and 1:5.
Journal ArticleDOI

The NINJA-2 catalog of hybrid post-Newtonian/numerical-relativity waveforms for non-precessing black-hole binaries

TL;DR: The NINJA-2 project as mentioned in this paper is a collaborative effort between members of the numerical relativity and data analysis communities to study the sensitivity of existing gravitational-wave search and parameter estimation algorithms using numerically generated waveforms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling the Black Hole Merger of QSO 3C 186

TL;DR: In this article, the mass ratio and spins of the progenitor binary black hole were modeled using numerical relativity simulations and the final remnant of the merger was bounded by, and at least 4% of the total mass of the binary system was radiated into gravitational waves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seeking for toroidal event horizons from initially stationary BH configurations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors construct and evolve non-rotating vacuum initial data with a ring singularity, based on a simple extension of the standard Brill-Lindquist multiple black-hole initial data, and search for event horizons with spatial slices that are toroidal when the ring radius is sufficiently large.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybrid black-hole binary initial data

TL;DR: In this article, a new binary black-hole initial data with radiation contents derived in the post-Newtonian (PN) calculations was adapted to puncture evolutions in numerical relativity.
