Figure 15: Left panels: Scattering threshold (upper panel) and maximum radiated energy (lower panel) as a function of v. Colored “triangle” symbols pointing up and down refer to the aligned and antialigned cases, respectively. Black “circle” symbols represent the thresholds for the nonspinning configurations. Right panel: Trajectory of one BH for a delayed merger configuration with anti-aligned spins j = 0.65. The circles represent the BH location at equidistant intervals Δt = 10M corresponding to the vertical lines in the inset that shows the equatorial circumference of the BH’s AH as a function of time.
