Ultra-relativistic grazing collisions of black holes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2013-05-29 v1

Abstract

We study gravitational wave emission, zoom-whirl behavior and the resulting spin of the remnant black hole in highly boosted collisions of equal-mass, non spinning black-hole binaries with generic impact parameter.
