Black-hole binaries, gravitational waves, and numerical relativity

J Centrella, JG Baker, BJ Kelly, JR van Meter - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
Understanding the predictions of general relativity for the dynamical interactions of two black
holes has been a long-standing unsolved problem in theoretical physics. Black-hole …

Numerical relativity of compact binaries in the 21st century

MD Duez, Y Zlochower - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the dramatic progress in the simulations of compact objects and compact-object
binaries that has taken place in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This includes …

[BOOK][B] Introduction to 3+ 1 numerical relativity

M Alcubierre - 2008 - books.google.com
This book introduces the modern field of 3+ 1 numerical relativity. The book has been written
in a way as to be as self-contained as possible, and only assumes a basic knowledge of …

Three-dimensional relativistic simulations of rotating neutron-star collapse to a Kerr black hole

L Baiotti, I Hawke, PJ Montero, F Löffler, L Rezzolla… - Physical Review D …, 2005 - APS
We present a new three-dimensional fully general-relativistic hydrodynamics code using
high-resolution shock-capturing techniques and a conformal traceless formulation of the …

Turduckening black holes: an analytical and computational study

D Brown, P Diener, O Sarbach, E Schnetter… - Physical Review D …, 2009 - APS
We provide a detailed analysis of several aspects of the turduckening technique for evolving
black holes. At the analytical level we study the constraint propagation for a family of …

Accurate black hole evolutions by fourth-order numerical relativity

Y Zlochower, JG Baker, M Campanelli… - Physical Review D …, 2005 - APS
We present techniques for successfully performing numerical relativity simulations of binary
black holes with fourth-order accuracy. Our simulations are based on a new coding …

Numerical relativity and compact binaries

TW Baumgarte, SL Shapiro - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
Numerical relativity is the most promising tool for theoretically modeling the inspiral and
coalescence of neutron star and black hole binaries, which, in turn, are among the most …

[HTML][HTML] Continuum and discrete initial-boundary value problems and Einstein's field equations

O Sarbach, M Tiglio - Living reviews in relativity, 2012 - Springer
Many evolution problems in physics are described by partial differential equations on an
infinite domain; therefore, one is interested in the solutions to such problems for a given …

Massively parallel simulations of binary black hole intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals

M Fernando, D Neilsen, H Lim, E Hirschmann… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2018 - arxiv.org
We present a highly-scalable framework that targets problems of interest to the numerical
relativity and broader astrophysics communities. This framework combines a parallel octree …
