A New Generalized Harmonic Evolution System

Lee Lindblom, Mark A. Scheel, Lawrence E. Kidder +2

A new representation of the Einstein evolution equations is presented that is first order, linearly degenerate, and symmetric hyperbolic. This new system uses the generalized harmo…

Gravitational wave snapshots of generic extreme mass ratio inspirals

Steve Drasco, Scott A. Hughes

Using black hole perturbation theory, we calculate the gravitational waves produced by test particles moving on bound geodesic orbits about rotating black holes. The orbits we cons…

Multi-block simulations in general relativity: high order discretizations, numerical stability, and applications

Luis Lehner, Oscar Reula, Manuel Tiglio

The need to smoothly cover a computational domain of interest generically requires the adoption of several grids. To solve the problem of interest under this grid-structure one mus…

Computing inspirals in Kerr in the adiabatic regime. I. The scalar case

Steve Drasco, Eanna E. Flanagan, Scott A. Hughes

A key source for LISA will be the inspiral of compact objects into supermassive black holes. Recently Mino has shown that in the adiabatic limit, gravitational waveforms for these…

Gravitational radiation reaction and inspiral waveforms in the adiabatic limit

Scott A. Hughes, Steve Drasco, Eanna E. Flanagan +1

We describe progress evolving an important limit of binary orbits in general relativity, that of a stellar mass compact object gradually spiraling into a much larger, massive black…

Uniqueness and Non-uniqueness in the Einstein Constraints

Harald P. Pfeiffer, James W. York

The conformal thin sandwich (CTS) equations are a set of four of the Einstein equations, which generalize the Laplace-Poisson equation of Newton's theory. We examine numerically so…

The basics of gravitational wave theory

Eanna E. Flanagan, Scott A. Hughes

Einstein's special theory of relativity revolutionized physics by teaching us that space and time are not separate entities, but join as ``spacetime''. His general theory of relati…
