Approximation procedures, weak fields in general relativity and gravitational theory (83C25) Black holes (83C57)

Abstract: We study the head-on collision of two equal-mass momentarily stationary black holes, using black hole perturbation theory up to second order. Compared to first-order results, this significantly improves agreement with numerically computed waveforms and energy. Much more important, second-order results correctly indicate the range of validity of perturbation theory. This use of second-order, to provide ``error bars, makes perturbation theory a viable tool for providing benchmarks for numerical relativity in more generic collisions and, in some range of collision parameters, for supplying waveform templates for gravitational wave detection.
