Numerical simulations of high energy collisions of black holes — •Ulrich Sperhake — FSU Jena, Germany

We present numerical simulations of collisions of black holes with varying boost parameter. This study covers the range from vanishing initial boost to the regime where the total mass is dominated by the kinetic energy. The resulting horizon properties and gravitational wave emission are studied and compared with analytic predictions.
