Numerical generation of vector potentials from specified magnetic fields
Zachary J. Silberman, Thomas R. Adams, Joshua A. Faber +2
Many codes have been developed to study highly relativistic, magnetized flows around and inside compact objects. Depending on the adopted formalism, some of these codes evolve the…
Numerical relativity in spherical coordinates with the Einstein Toolkit
Vassilios Mewes, Yosef Zlochower, Manuela Campanelli +3
Numerical relativity codes that do not make assumptions on spatial symmetries most commonly adopt Cartesian coordinates. While these coordinates have many attractive features, sphe…
SENR/NRPy+: Numerical Relativity in Singular Curvilinear Coordinate Systems
Ian Ruchlin, Zachariah B. Etienne, Thomas W. Baumgarte
We report on a new open-source, user-friendly numerical relativity code package called SENR/NRPy+. Our code extends previous implementations of the BSSN reference-metric formulatio…
Evolutions of unequal mass, highly spinning black hole binaries
James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto, Ian Ruchlin +1
We evolve a binary black hole system bearing a mass ratio of and individual spins of and in a configuration where the large b…
Evolutions of Nearly Maximally Spinning Black Hole Binaries Using the Moving Puncture Approach
Yosef Zlochower, James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto +1
We demonstrate that numerical relativity codes based on the moving punctures formalism are capable of evolving nearly maximally spinning black hole binaries. We compare a new evolu…
High Energy Collisions of Black Holes Numerically Revisited
James Healy, Ian Ruchlin, Carlos O. Lousto +1
We use fully nonlinear numerical relativity techniques to study high energy head-on collision of nonspinning, equal-mass black holes to estimate the maximum gravitational radiation…
Puncture Initial Data for Black-Hole Binaries with High Spins and High Boosts
Ian Ruchlin, James Healy, Carlos O. Lousto +1
We solve the Hamiltonian and momentum constraints of general relativity for two black holes with nearly extremal spins and relativistic boosts in the puncture formalism. We use a n…
Calculating a confidence interval on the sum of binned leakage
Ian Ruchlin, Richard W. Schnee
Calculating the expected number of misclassified outcomes is a standard problem of particular interest for rare-event searches. The Clopper-Pearson method allows calculation of cla…
