Colliding black holes with linearized gravity
摘要
We give a brief summary of results and ongoing research in the application of linearized theory to the study of black hole collisions in the limit in which the holes start close to each other. This approximation can be a valuable tool for comparison and code-checking of full numerical relativity computations. The approximation works quite well for the head-on case and this is motivation to pursue its use in other more interesting contexts. We summarize current efforts towards establishing the domain of validity of the approximation and its use in generation and evolution of initial data for more interesting physical cases.
