Exact Mass Conservation in Binary Neutron Star Merger Simulations
Boris Daszuta, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Joan Fontbuté +4
A long-standing problem in the simulation of neutron star spacetimes is the treatment of vacuum regions outside the stars. The use of an artificial low-density atmosphere is a comm…

We introduce an extension to the AthenaK code for general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) in dynamical spacetimes using a 3+1 conservative Eulerian formulation. Like the…
Numerical relativity simulations of compact binaries: comparison of cell- and vertex-centered adaptive meshes
Boris Daszuta, William Cook, Peter Hammond +4
Given the compact binary evolution problem of numerical relativity, in the finite-difference, block-based, adaptive mesh refinement context, choices must be made on how evolved fie…

Towards numerical-relativity informed effective-one-body waveforms for dynamical capture black hole binaries
