GRHydro: A new open source general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics code for the Einstein Toolkit

Philipp Moesta, Bruno C. Mundim, Joshua A. Faber +7

We present the new general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) capabilities of the Einstein Toolkit, an open-source community-driven numerical relativity and computational re…

Prompt Emission from Tidal Disruptions of White Dwarfs by Intermediate Mass Black Holes

Roman V. Shcherbakov, Asaf Pe'er, Christopher S. Reynolds +3

We present a qualitative picture of prompt emission from tidal disruptions of white dwarfs (WD) by intermediate mass black holes (IMBH). The smaller size of an IMBH compared to a s…

GRB060218 as a Tidal Disruption of a White Dwarf by an Intermediate Mass Black Hole

Roman V. Shcherbakov, Asaf Pe'er, Christopher S. Reynolds +3

A highly unusual pair of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB060218 and an associated supernova SN2006aj has puzzled theorists for years. A supernova shock breakout and a jet from a newborn…

Tidal Disruptions of White Dwarfs from Ultra-Close Encounters with Intermediate Mass Spinning Black Holes

Roland Haas, Roman V. Shcherbakov, Tanja Bode +1

We present numerical relativity results of tidal disruptions of white dwarfs from ultra-close encounters with a spinning, intermediate mass black hole. These encounters require a f…

Late Inspiral and Merger of Binary Black Holes in Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity

James Healy, Tanja Bode, Roland Haas +4

Gravitational wave observations will probe non-linear gravitational interactions and thus enable strong tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity. We present a numerical rel…
