Binary black Binary black holes in quasi-holes in quasi-circular orbitscircular orbits
•We need a model and some early robust results: (Flanagan & Hughes, 98)
•A first `early stage’ model: equal mass and non spinning BBH Conformally flat puncture data (Cook 94; Brandt, Brügmann 97)
• Meet PN regime at larger separation L
Assess the validity of initial conditions dynamicallyAssess the validity of initial conditions dynamically

A first glimpse on Plunge A first glimpse on Plunge RadiationRadiation
What are the robust features of the
plunge waveforms?
• 3% total mass
• 12% angular momentum (polar axis)• Merge in less haft orbital time.
• Spectrum peak close to QNR of the final Kerr hole f ~ 300 Hz for 35 M.
• Internal consistency: vary transition time (accuracy 20%)

• Dynamics dominated by rotational motion.
• ID artifact (not circularized) shrinks with increasing L. Not so bad …

• 3PN-E1B-ISCO and QC3/QC4 parameters are very close, but PN not converging …

• Comparisons with FN needed!

• Evolve and compare waveforms to explore dependencies on ID !

Matching Lazarus to 2.5 PN inspiral waveforms (simple analytic representation with 8 parameters).
Analytic Analytic FittingFitting
• To give estimate on how waveforms depend on these parameters.
Explore the transition to more complicated dynamics of spinning andunequal-mass, black holes.
•To reduce the number of simulations needed by interpolating between analytic fits.
