Charged Black Hole in a Canonical Ensemble

Andrew P. Lundgren

We consider the thermodynamics of a charged black hole enclosed in a cavity. The charge in the cavity and the temperature at the walls are fixed so that we have a canonical ensembl…

Self-Renormalization of the Classical Quasilocal Energy

Andrew P. Lundgren, Bjoern S. Schmekel, James W. York

Pointlike objects cause many of the divergences that afflict physical theories. For instance, the gravitational binding energy of a point particle in Newtonian mechanics is infinit…

Numerical implementation of isolated horizon boundary conditions

J. L. Jaramillo, M. Ansorg, F. Limousin

We study the numerical implementation of a set of boundary conditions derived from the isolated horizon formalism, and which characterize a black hole whose horizon is in quasi-equ…

Testing the Accuracy and Stability of Spectral Methods in Numerical Relativity

Michael Boyle, Lee Lindblom, Harald Pfeiffer +2

The accuracy and stability of the Caltech-Cornell pseudospectral code is evaluated using the KST representation of the Einstein evolution equations. The basic "Mexico City Tests" w…

Solving Einstein's Equations With Dual Coordinate Frames

Mark A. Scheel, Harald P. Pfeiffer, Lee Lindblom +3

A method is introduced for solving Einstein's equations using two distinct coordinate systems. The coordinate basis vectors associated with one system are used to project out compo…

New Minimal Distortion Shift Gauge

Robert T. Jantzen, James W. York

Based on the recent understanding of the role of the densitized lapse function in Einstein's equations and of the proper way to pose the thin sandwich problem, a slight readjustmen…

Evolution of 3D Boson Stars with Waveform Extraction

Jayashree Balakrishna, Ruxandra Bondarescu, Gregory Daues +2

Numerical results from a study of boson stars under nonspherical perturbations using a fully general relativistic 3D code are presented together with the analysis of emitted gravit…

Gravitomagnetic resonant excitation of Rossby modes in coalescing neutron star binaries

Éanna É. Flanagan, Étienne Racine

In coalescing neutron star binaries, r-modes in one of the stars can be resonantly excited by the gravitomagnetic tidal field of its companion. This post-Newtonian gravitomagnetic…
