GRTresna: An open-source code to solve the initial data constraints in numerical relativity
Josu C. Aurrekoetxea, Sam E. Brady, Llibert Aresté-Saló +11
GRTresna is a multigrid solver designed to solve the constraint equations for the initial data required in numerical relativity simulations. In particular, it is focussed on scenar…
Waveform Modelling for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
LISA Consortium Waveform Working Group, Niayesh Afshordi, Sarp Akçay +144
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will exp…
Hair is complicated: Gravitational waves from stable and unstable boson-star mergers
Bo-Xuan Ge, Eugene A. Lim, Ulrich Sperhake +5
We explore the gravitational-wave emission from head-on collisions of equal-mass solitonic boson-star binaries from simulations spanning a two-dimensional parameter space, consisti…
Cosmology using numerical relativity
Josu C. Aurrekoetxea, Katy Clough, Eugene A. Lim
This review is an up-to-date account of the use of numerical relativity to study dynamical, strong-gravity environments in a cosmological context. First, we provide a gentle introd…
