章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁(yè)：插圖：Although stationary black holes are simple, there are situations where black holes areexpected to be highly dynamical, and these are more difficult to treat analytically. When ablack hole is formed, any initial asymmetry （such as quadrupole moments） must be radi-ated away in gravitational wave.s, until finally only the mass and angular momentum areleft behind. This generally happens quickly: studies oflinear perturbations of black holesshow that black holes have a characteristic spectrum of oscillations, but that they typicallydamp out （ring down） exponentially after only a few cycles （Kokkotas and Schmidt 1999）.The Kerr metric takes over very quickly.   Even more dynamical are black holes in collision, either with other black holes or withstars. As described in Ch. 9. binary systems involving black holes will eventually merge,and black holes in the centers of galaxies can merge with other massive holes when galax-ies merge. These situations can only be studied numerically, by using computers to solveEinstein's equations and perform a dynamical simulation.Numerical techniques for GR have been developed over a period of sevefal decades, butprogress initially was slow. The coordinate freedom of general relativity, coupled with thecomplexity of the Einstein equations, means that there is no unique way to formulate asystem of equations for the computer. Most formulations have turned out to lead to intrin-sically unstable numerical schemes, and finding a stable scheme took much trial and error.Moreover, when black holes are invoved the full metric has a singularity where its com-ponents diverge: this has someho\x, to be removed from the numerical domain, becausecomputers can work only to a finite precision, See Bona and Palenzuela-Luque （2005） andAlcubierre （2008） for surveys of these problems and their solutions.
