摘要
We study the head-on collision of fluid particles well within the kinetic energy dominated regime (gamma = 8 to 12) by numerically solving the Einstein-hydrodynamic equations. We find that the threshold for black hole formation is lower (by a factor of a few) than simple hoop conjecture estimates, and, moreover, near this threshold two distinct apparent horizons first form postcollision and then merge. We argue that this can be understood in terms of a gravitational focusing effect. The gravitational radiation reaches luminosities of 0: 014 c(5)/G, carrying 16 +/- 2% of the total energy.
