Additional information
I initiated this study, which showed that extremely large black-hole recoils, "superkicks", are a consequence of the fully nonlinear nature of Einstein's theory, and cannot be calculated in any of the standard approximations to the theory. I performed all of the BAM-code simulations, performed the analysis, and wrote over 80% of the paper.
