Horizon multipole moment studies

In a binary black hole scenario, the horizons of the black holes are mutually deformed.  This deformation can be understood using the multipole moments of the intrinsic curvature of the slices of the dynamical horizons of the black holes. 

In this line of study, the mass multipolar deformations of the dynamical horizons were studied in a binary black hole scenario. Projects relevant are:

1. Generalized multipole moments of dynamical horizons in binary black hole mergers. [arXiv]

2. Tidal deformation of dynamical horizons in binary black hole mergers.  [arXiv]
