GR-Athena++: Binary Neutron Star Merger Simulations with Neutrino Transport

Boris Daszuta, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Maximilian Jacobi +4

We present general-relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers performed with GR-Athena++. Neutrino transport is treated using a moment-b…

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…

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…

Numerical relativity simulations of compact binaries: comparison of cell- and vertex-centered adaptive meshes

Boris Daszuta, William Cook, Peter Hammond +4

Given the compact binary evolution problem of numerical relativity, in the finite-difference, block-based, adaptive mesh refinement context, choices must be made on how evolved fie…

GR-Athena++: magnetohydrodynamical evolution with dynamical space-time

Boris Daszuta, William Cook

We present a self-contained overview of GR-Athena++, a general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) code, that incorporates treatment of dynamical space-time, based on the rec…

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…

Smoothing and flattening the universe through slow contraction versus inflation

Anna Ijjas, Paul J. Steinhardt, David Garfinkle +1

In a systematic study, we use an equivalent pair of improved numerical relativity codes based on a tetrad-formulation of the classical Einstein-scalar field equations to examine wh…

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…

GR-Athena++: General-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of neutron star spacetimes

William Cook, Boris Daszuta, Jacob Fields +5

We present the extension of GR-Athena++ to general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) for applications to neutron star spacetimes. The new solver couples the constrained tra…
