Gravitational-Wave Signatures of Massive Black Hole Formation

Bernard J. Kelly, Sarah Gossan, Leonardo R. Werneck +5

Direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) are an important component of the massive black hole population of the early universe, and their formation and early mergers will be prominent i…

GRHayL: a modern, infrastructure-agnostic, extensible library for GRMHD simulations

Samuel Cupp, Leonardo R. Werneck, Terrence Pierre Jacques +2

Interpreting multimessenger signals from neutron stars and black holes requires reliable general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulations across rapidly evolving high-…

Ultra-low damping of the translational motion of a composite graphite rod in a magneto-gravitational trap

Connor E. Murphy, Cody Jessup, Tahereh Naderishahab +5

We demonstrate an ultra-low dissipation, one-dimensional mechanical oscillator formed by levitating a millimeter-scale composite graphite rod in a room-temperature magneto-gravitat…

General relativistic hydrodynamics code for dynamical spacetimes with curvilinear coordinates, tabulated equations of state, and neutrino physics

Terrence Pierre Jacques, Samuel Cupp, Leonardo R. Werneck +3

Many astrophysical systems of interest to numerical relativity-such as rapidly rotating stars, black hole accretion disks, and core-collapse supernovae-exhibit near-symmetries. The…

Toward 2D Dynamo Models Calibrated by Global 3D Relativistic Accretion Disk Simulations

Matthew D. Duez, Courtney L. Cadenhead, Zachariah B. Etienne +2

Two-dimensional models assuming axisymmetry are an economical way to explore the long-term evolution of black hole accretion disks, but they are only realistic if the feedback of t…

Bound Debris Expulsion from Neutron Star Merger Remnants

Yossef Zenati, Julian H. Krolik, Leonardo R. Werneck +4

Many studies have found that neutron star mergers leave a fraction of the stars' mass in bound orbits surrounding the resulting massive neutron star or black hole. This mass is a s…
