Black-Hole Binary Systems |
In General
> s.a. black-hole solutions; star evolution [compact binaries];
supermassive and other types of black holes [stellar candidates].
* Status: 2012, There are
no known double black hole or black hole-neutron star systems.
* In other theories: In
scalar-tensor theories the equations of motion of non-spinning binary black
holes to 2.5PN are the same as in general relativity (Mirshekari, Will et al),
and a similar result is expected at higher order; There is a difference for
ns-bh and ns-ns binaries.
