Simulations of binary black holes with spin

ORAL

Abstract

We present results of simulations of spinning black hole binaries on initially quasi-circular orbits. Our simulations cover several orbits as well as the merger and ringdown phases. We compare the initial and final mass and angular momentum of each system, and give error estimates for our results.
