Measuring eccentricity in binary black-hole initial data
Jason D. Grigsby, Gregory B. Cook
Initial data for evolving black-hole binaries can be constructed via many techniques, and can represent a wide range of physical scenarios. However, because of the way that differe…
Approximate Killing Vectors on S^2
Gregory B. Cook, Bernard F. Whiting
We present a new method for computing the best approximation to a Killing vector on closed 2-surfaces that are topologically S^2. When solutions of Killing's equation do not exist,…
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…
