ExaHyPE: An Engine for Parallel Dynamically Adaptive Simulations of Wave Problems

Anne Reinarz, Dominic E. Charrier, Michael Bader +13

ExaHyPE ("An Exascale Hyperbolic PDE Engine") is a software engine for solving systems of first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Hyperbolic PDEs are typicall…

A General-relativistic Determination of the Threshold Mass to Prompt Collapse in Binary Neutron Star Mergers

Sven Köppel, Luke Bovard, Luciano Rezzolla

We study the lifetimes of the remnant produced by the merger of two neutron stars and revisit the determination of the threshold mass to prompt collapse, . Using a full…

On r-process nucleosynthesis from matter ejected in binary neutron starmergers

Luke Bovard, Dirk Martin, Federico Guercilena +3

When binary systems of neutron stars merge, a very small fraction of their rest mass is ejected, either dynamically or secularly. This material is neutron-rich and its nucleosynthe…

Charged Randall-Sundrum black holes in Higher Dimensions

Michael Meiers, Luke Bovard, Robert Mann

We extend some solutions for black holes in the Randall-Sundrum theory with a single brane. We consider a generalised version of the extremal black hole on the brane in n + 1 dimen…

On the importance of viscous dissipation and heat conduction in binary neutron-star mergers

Mark G. Alford, Luke Bovard, Matthias Hanauske +2

Inferring the properties of dense matter is one of the most exciting prospects from the measurement of gravitational waves from neutron star mergers. However, it will require relia…

On the use of tracer particles in simulations of binary neutron stars

Luke Bovard, Luciano Rezzolla

In grid-based codes that provide the combined solution of the Einstein equations and of relativistic hydrodynamics, the history of the fluid is not simple to track, especially when…

Constraining alternative theories of gravity using GW and GW

Mariafelicia De Laurentis, Oliver Porth, Luke Bovard +2

The recently reported gravitational wave events GW and GW caused by the mergers of binary black holes [arXiv:1602.03841],[arXiv:1606.04855],[arXiv:1606.04856] provi…

Rotational properties of hypermassive neutron stars from binary mergers

Matthias Hanauske, Kentaro Takami, Luke Bovard +4

Determining the differential-rotation law of compact stellar objects produced in binary neutron stars mergers or core-collapse supernovae is an old problem in relativistic astrophy…

Short-wave vortex instability in stratified flow

Luke Bovard, Michael L. Waite

In this paper we investigate a new instability of the Lamb-Chaplygin dipole in a stratified fluid. Through numerical linear stability analysis, a secondary peak in the growth rate…
