The final spin from the coalescence of aligned-spin black-hole binaries
Luciano Rezzolla, Peter Diener, Ernst Nils Dorband +4
Determining the final spin of a black-hole (BH) binary is a question of key importance in astrophysics. Modelling this quantity in general is made difficult by the fact that it dep…
Implementation of standard testbeds for numerical relativity
M. C. Babiuc, S. Husa, D. Alic +8
We discuss results that have been obtained from the implementation of the initial round of testbeds for numerical relativity which was proposed in the first paper of the Apples wit…
Recoil velocities from equal-mass binary black-hole mergers: a systematic investigation of spin-orbit aligned configurations
Denis Pollney, Christian Reisswig, Luciano Rezzolla +8
Binary black-hole systems with spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum are of special interest, as studies indicate that this configuration is preferred in nature. If the s…
Cactus Framework: Black Holes to Gamma Ray Bursts
Erik Schnetter, Christian D. Ott, Gabrielle Allen +5
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are intense narrowly-beamed flashes of gamma-rays of cosmological origin. They are among the most scientifically interesting astrophysical systems, and the…
Excision without excision: the relativistic turducken
David Brown, Olivier Sarbach, Erik Schnetter +4
to turducken (turduckens, turduckening, turduckened, turduckened) [math.]: To stuff a black hole. We analyze and apply an alternative to black hole excision based on smoothing the…
An Extensible Timing Infrastructure for Adaptive Large-scale Applications
Dylan Stark, Gabrielle Allen, Tom Goodale +2
Real-time access to accurate and reliable timing information is necessary to profile scientific applications, and crucial as simulations become increasingly complex, adaptive, and…
