Simulations of Spinning Binary Black Hole Mergers

Estuti Shukla, Alireza Rashti, Rossella Gamba +2

We present the second release of the waveform catalog, comprising four new quasi-circular, non-precessing, spinning binary black hole simulations. These simu…

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…

Black-hole - neutron-star mergers: new numerical-relativity simulations and multipolar effective-one-body model with spin precession and eccentricity

Alejandra Gonzalez, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Alireza Rashti +2

In this paper, we present 52 new numerical-relativity (NR) simulations of black-hole-neutron-star merger (BHNS) mergers and employ the data to inform TEOBResumS-Dalí: a multipolar…

AthenaK simulations of the binary black hole merger GW150914

David Radice, Rossella Gamba, Hengrui Zhu +1

We present new binary black hole simulations targeted to GW150914 using the GPU-accelerated code AthenaK. We compute the properties of the final remnant with the isolated horizon f…

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…

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…
