Spin-up and mass-gain in hyperbolic encounters of spinning black holes
Numerical relativity simulations of equal-mass black holes with initial spins from -0.7 to 0.7 in hyperbolic encounters find maximum spin-up of 0.3 and mass increase of 15%, with spin-up decreasing linearly with initial spin at the threshold angle.
