| « Modeling the Dynamics and Gravitational-Wave Emission of Coalescing Black Holes » |
|
A. Buonanno |
| Recent developments at the interface between analytical and numerical relativity have deepened our understanding of the two-body problem in general relativity, revealing an intriguing simplicity. I will review those advances, focusing on the most dynamical and non-linear phase of the coalescence of binary black holes - that is, when the two black holes end their long inspiral with a plunge, merge with each other, and leave behind a “ringing” black hole. I will discuss the implications of the advances in the search for gravitational waves and examine which aspects of the modeling need to be further developed in the future. |
