Fully General Relativistic Simulations of Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers
Zachariah B. Etienne, Joshua A. Faber, Yuk Tung Liu +3
Black hole-neutron star (BHNS) binaries are expected to be among the leading sources of gravitational waves observable by ground-based detectors, and may be the progenitors of shor…
Black Hole Formation and Growth: Simulations in General Relativity
Stuart L. Shapiro
Black holes are popping up all over the place: in compact binary X-ray sources and GRBs, in quasars, AGNs and the cores of all bulge galaxies, in binary black holes and binary blac…
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…
Magnetorotational collapse of very massive stars to black holes in full general relativity
Yuk Tung Liu, Stuart L. Shapiro, Branson C. Stephens
We perform axisymmetric simulations of the magnetorotational collapse of very massive stars in full general relativity. Our simulations are applicable to the collapse of supermassi…
