Evolving black hole-neutron star binaries in general relativity using pseudospectral and finite difference methods
Matthew D. Duez, Francois Foucart, Lawrence E. Kidder +3
We present a code for solving the coupled Einstein-hydrodynamics equations to evolve relativistic, self-gravitating fluids. The Einstein field equations are solved in generalized h…
Spinning down newborn neutron stars: nonlinear development of the r-mode instability
Ruxandra Bondarescu, Saul A. Teukolsky, Ira Wasserman
We model the nonlinear saturation of the r-mode instability via three-mode couplings and the effects of the instability on the spin evolution of young neutron stars. We include one…
Ineffectiveness of Padé resummation techniques in post-Newtonian approximations
Abdul H. Mroué, Lawrence E. Kidder, Saul A. Teukolsky
We test the resummation techniques used in developing Padé and Effective One Body (EOB) waveforms for gravitational wave detection. Convergence tests show that Padé approximants of…
Initial data for black hole-neutron star binaries: a flexible, high-accuracy spectral method
Francois Foucart, Lawrence E. Kidder, Harald P. Pfeiffer +1
We present a new numerical scheme to solve the initial value problem for black hole-neutron star binaries. This method takes advantage of the flexibility and fast convergence of a…
