Elastic Scattering in General Relativistic Ray Tracing for Neutrinos

M. Brett Deaton, Evan O'Connor, Y. L. Zhu +5

We present a covariant ray tracing algorithm for computing high-resolution neutrino distributions in general relativistic numerical spacetimes with hydrodynamical sources. Our form…

SpECTRE: A Task-based Discontinuous Galerkin Code for Relativistic Astrophysics

Lawrence E. Kidder, Scott E. Field, Francois Foucart +11

We introduce a new relativistic astrophysics code, SpECTRE, that combines a discontinuous Galerkin method with a task-based parallelism model. SpECTRE's goal is to achieve more acc…

A Parallel Adaptive Event Horizon Finder for Numerical Relativity

Andy Bohn, Lawrence E. Kidder, Saul A. Teukolsky

With Advanced LIGO detecting the gravitational waves emitted from a pair of merging black holes in late 2015, we have a new perspective into the strong field regime of binary black…

Toroidal Horizons in Binary Black Hole Mergers

Andy Bohn, Lawrence E. Kidder, Saul A. Teukolsky

We find the first binary black hole event horizon with a toroidal topology. It had been predicted that generically the event horizons of merging black holes should briefly have a t…

What does a binary black hole merger look like?

Andy Bohn, William Throwe, François Hébert +4

We present a method of calculating the strong-field gravitational lensing caused by many analytic and numerical spacetimes. We use this procedure to calculate the distortion caused…
