Hyperbolic-like Encounters of Binary Black Holes — •Hannes Rüter — Albert-Einstein-Institut, Potsdam

Using fully general-reativistic simulations, we are investigating the encounter of two black holes that are initially on a hyperbolic-like orbit. Due to emission of gravitational waves the black holes can eventually become bound and merge. We are particularly interested in the physics near the region between this capture and escape to inifinity.
