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…
GR-Athena++: Binary Neutron Star Merger Simulations with Neutrino Transport
Boris Daszuta, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Maximilian Jacobi +4
We present general-relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers performed with GR-Athena++. Neutrino transport is treated using a moment-b…
Covariant and Gauge-invariant Metric-based Gravitational-waves Extraction in Numerical Relativity
Joan Fontbuté, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Simone Albanesi +5
We revisit the problem of gravitational-wave extraction in numerical relativity with gauge-invariant metric perturbation theory of spherical spacetimes. Our extraction algorithm al…
Binary Black Hole Waveforms from High-Resolution GR-Athena++ Simulations
Alireza Rashti, Rossella Gamba, Koustav Chandra +4
The detection and subsequent inference of binary black hole signals rely heavily on the accuracy of the waveform model employed. In the highly non-linear, dynamic, and strong-field…
Performance-Portable Numerical Relativity with AthenaK
Hengrui Zhu, Jacob Fields, Francesco Zappa +6
We present the numerical relativity module within AthenaK, an open source performance-portable astrophysics code designed for exascale computing applications. This module employs t…
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…
GR-Athena++: magnetohydrodynamical evolution with dynamical space-time
Boris Daszuta, William Cook
We present a self-contained overview of GR-Athena++, a general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) code, that incorporates treatment of dynamical space-time, based on the rec…
Scattering and dynamical capture of two black holes: synergies between numerical and analytical methods
Simone Albanesi, Alireza Rashti, Francesco Zappa +6
We study initially unbound systems of two black holes using numerical relativity (NR) simulations performed with GR-Athena++. We focus on regions of the parameter space close to th…
Adaptive mesh refinement in binary black holes simulations
Alireza Rashti, Maitraya Bhattacharyya, David Radice +3
We discuss refinement criteria for the Berger-Rigoutsos (block-based) refinement algorithm in our numerical relativity code GR-Athena++ in the context of binary black hole merger s…
GR-Athena++: General-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of neutron star spacetimes
William Cook, Boris Daszuta, Jacob Fields +5
We present the extension of GR-Athena++ to general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) for applications to neutron star spacetimes. The new solver couples the constrained tra…
Towards numerical-relativity informed effective-one-body waveforms for dynamical capture black hole binaries
Tomas Andrade, Juan Trenado, Simone Albanesi +10
Dynamical captures of black holes may take place in dense stellar media due to the emission of gravitational radiation during a close passage. Detection of such events requires det…
Spectrally-tuned compact finite-difference schemes with domain decomposition and applications to numerical relativity
Boris Daszuta
Compact finite-difference (FD) schemes specify derivative approximations implicitly, thus to achieve parallelism with domain-decomposition suitable partitioning of linear systems i…
GRAthena++: puncture evolutions on vertex-centered oct-tree AMR
Boris Daszuta, Francesco Zappa, William Cook +3
Numerical relativity is central to the investigation of astrophysical sources in the dynamical and strong-field gravity regime, such as binary black hole and neutron star coalescen…
