Relieving scale disparity in binary black hole simulations
Nikolas A. Wittek, Leor Barack, Harald P. Pfeiffer +7
Worldtube excision is a method of reducing computational burden in Numerical Relativity simulations of binary black holes in situations where there is a good analytical model of th…
The SXS Collaboration's third catalog of binary black hole simulations
Mark A. Scheel, Michael Boyle, Keefe Mitman +56
We present a major update to the Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes (SXS) Collaboration's catalog of binary black hole simulations. Using highly efficient spectral methods implemented i…
Signatures from metastable oppositely-charged black hole binaries in scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Guillermo Lara, Maxence Corman, Peter James Nee +14
We conduct numerical simulations of inspiraling, oppositely-charged black holes in the class of scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories that exhibit spontaneous black hole scalarization. For…
Simulating binary black hole mergers using discontinuous Galerkin methods
Geoffrey Lovelace, Kyle C. Nelli, Nils Deppe +28
Binary black holes are the most abundant source of gravitational-wave observations. Gravitational-wave observatories in the next decade will require tremendous increases in the acc…
