Video 3: ORBITAL "HANG-UP"
Here we have three videos
in one.
In the left video,
both black hole spins are parallel to the orbital angular momentum. In
the right video, both spins are anti-parallel to the orbital angular
momentum, and in the center video, each black hole has zero spin. All
other initial conditions are the same. Notice that the right merger
occurs before the center merger, which occurs before the left merger.
