The Spiralling Binary System of Black Holes

by James Blackburn

Abstract:

A novel approach to the numerical analysis of the dynamic system of two spiraling black holes is developed using the initial value formalism of general relativity. As the two black holes spiral in on each other they will lose energy and angular momentum in the form of gravitational radiation. When the amplitude of this gravitational radiation is small enough, the space-time for the two orbiting black holes can be approximated by a...
