28 Summary ˆ The celebrated laws of black hole (BH) mechanics have been extended to binary BH systems ˆ In corotating binaries, the surface gravity κ a is constant ˆ We computed κ a (Ω) from quasi-equilibrium initial data for corotating BH binaries with comparable masses ˆ We compared those numerical results to the analytical predictions from the PN approximation and linear BH perturbation theory and found excellent agreement Prospects ˆ Perturbation theory may prove useful to build templates for IMRIs and even comparable-mass binaries

30 Why does BHPT perform so well? ˆ In perturbation theory, one traditionally expands as k max f (Ω; m a ) = a k (m 2 Ω) q k where q m 1 /m 2 [0, 1] k=0 ˆ However, most physically interesting relationships f (Ω; m a ) are symmetric under exchange m 1 m 2 ˆ Hence, a better-motivated expansion is k max f (Ω; m a ) = b k (mω) ν k where ν m 1 m 2 /m 2 [0, 1/4] k=0 ˆ In a PN expansion, we have b n = O ( 1/c 2n) = npn +

31 Why does BHPT perform so well? ˆ In perturbation theory, each surface gravity is expanded as 4µ 1 κ 1 = a(µ 2 Ω) + q b(µ 2 Ω) + O(q 2 ) 4µ 2 κ 2 = c(µ 2 Ω) + q d(µ 2 Ω) + O(q 2 ) ˆ From the first law we know that the general form is 4µ a κ a = ν k f k (µω) ± 1 4ν ν k g k (µω) k 0 k 0 ˆ Each surface gravity can thus be rewritten as 4µ a κ a = A(µΩ) ± B(µΩ) 1 4ν + C(µΩ) ν ± D(µΩ) ν 1 4ν + O(ν 2 ) ˆ Expand to linear order in q and match A, B, C, D
