An Efficient Method for Fully Relativistic Simulations of Coalescing Binary Neutron Stars
Walter Landry, Saul A. Teukolsky
The merger of two neutron stars has been proposed as a source of gamma-ray bursts, r-process elements, and detectable gravitational waves. Extracting information from observations…

Hot, Rotating Disks In General Relativity: Collisionless Equilibrium Models
A. Katrin Schenk, Stuart L. Shapiro, Saul A. Teukolsky
We present a method for constructing equilibrium disks with net angular momentum in general relativity. The method solves the relativistic Vlasov equation coupled to Einstein's equ…

Binary Neutron Stars in Quasi-Equilibrium Circular Orbit: A Fully Relativistic Treatment
Thomas W. Baumgarte, Stuart L. Shapiro, Gregory B. Cook +2
We present a numerical scheme that solves the initial value problem in full general relativity for a binary neutron star in quasi-equilibrium. While Newtonian gravity allows for a…
