Abstract

Description

Perturbation techniques can be used as an alternative to supercomputer calculations in calculating gravitational radiation emitted by colliding black holes, provided the process starts with the black holes close to each other. We give a summary of the method and of the results obtained for various initial configurations, both axisymmetric and without symmetry: Initially static, boosted towards each other, counter-rotating, or boosted at an angle (pseudo-inspiral). Where applicable, we compare the perturbation results with supercomputer calculations.
