Relativistic black hole-neutron star binaries in quasiequilibrium: effects of the black hole excision boundary condition
Keisuke Taniguchi, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Joshua A. Faber +1
We construct new models of black hole-neutron star binaries in quasiequilibrium circular orbits by solving Einstein's constraint equations in the conformal thin-sandwich decomposit…
Relativistic hydrodynamics in the presence of puncture black holes
Joshua A. Faber, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Zachariah B. Etienne +2
Many of the recent numerical simulations of binary black holes in vacuum adopt the moving puncture approach. This successful approach avoids the need to impose numerical excision o…
Filling the holes: Evolving excised binary black hole initial data with puncture techniques
Zachariah B. Etienne, Joshua A. Faber, Yuk Tung Liu +2
We follow the inspiral and merger of equal-mass black holes (BHs) by the moving puncture technique and demonstrate that both the exterior solution and the asymptotic gravitational…
Quasiequilibrium black hole-neutron star binaries in general relativity
Keisuke Taniguchi, Thomas W. Baumgarte, Joshua A. Faber +1
We construct quasiequilibrium sequences of black hole-neutron star binaries in general relativity. We solve Einstein's constraint equations in the conformal thin-sandwich formalism…
Dynamical Bar Instability in Relativistic Rotating Stars
Motoyuki Saijo, Masaru Shibata, Thomas W. Baumgarte +1
We study by computational means the dynamical stability against bar-mode deformation of rapidly and differentially rotating stars in a post-Newtonian approximation of general relat…
Brief Comments on ``The Shapiro Conjecture, Prompt or Delayed Collapse ?'' by Miller, Suen and Tobias
Stuart L. Shapiro
Recent numerical simulations address a conjecture by Shapiro that when two neutron stars collide head-on from rest at infinity, sufficient thermal pressure may be generated to supp…
