A new gravitational wave generation algorithm for particle perturbations of the Kerr spacetime — •Enno Harms1, Sebastiano Bernuzzi2, Alessandro Nagar3, and Anil Zenginoglu4 — 1TPI Uni Jena — 2California Institute of Technology - USA — 3IHES - Bures Sur Yvette - France — 4IHES - Bures Sur Yvette - France
We present a new approach to solve the 2+1 Teukolsky equation for gravitational perturbations of a Kerr black hole. Our approach relies on a new horizon penetrating, hyperboloidal foliation of Kerr spacetime and spatial compactification. In particular, we present a framework for waveform generation from point-particle perturbations and its application to black-hole binary inspirals in the large-mass-ratio limit.
