Gauge drivers for the generalized harmonic Einstein equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The generalized harmonic representation of Einstein's equations is manifestly hyperbolic for a large class of gauge conditions. Unfortunately most of the useful gauges developed over the past several decades by the numerical relativity community are ...

Modeling the source of GW150914 with targeted numerical-relativity simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In fall of 2015, the two LIGO detectors measured the gravitational wave signal GW150914, which originated from a pair of merging black holes. In the final 0.2 seconds (about 8 gravitational-wave cycles) before the amplitude reached its maximum, the ...

A Radiation Scalar for Numerical Relativity [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2002
This letter describes a scalar curvature invariant for general relativity with a certain, distinctive feature. While many such invariants exist, this one vanishes in regions of space-time which can be said unambiguously to contain no gravitational radiation.

The 3+1 formalism in teleparallel and symmetric teleparallel gravity

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
Teleparallel and symmetric teleparallel gravity offer platforms in which gravity can be formulated in interesting geometric approaches, respectively given by torsion and nonmetricity. In this vein, general relativity can be expressed in three dynamically

Higher dimensional Numerical Relativity: code comparison [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The nonlinear behavior of higher dimensional black hole spacetimes is of interest in several contexts, ranging from an understanding of cosmic censorship to black hole production in high-energy collisions.

Relativistic Aspects of Accreting Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Their Natural Habitat: A Review

open access: yesGalaxies, 2019
In this review a summary is given on recent theoretical work, on understanding accreting supermassive black hole binaries in the gravitational wave (GW)-driven regime. A particular focus is given to theoretical predictions of properties of disks and jets

A Brief Overview of Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
Of the three main types of binaries detectable through ground-based gravitational wave observations, black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers remain the most elusive.

Fundamental Tone and Overtones of Quasinormal Modes in Ringdown Gravitational Waves: A Detailed Study in Black Hole Perturbation

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Ringdown gravitational waves of compact object binaries observed by ground-based gravitational-wave detectors encapsulate rich information to understand remnant objects after the merger and to test general relativity in the strong field. In this work, we

Enriching the Symphony of Gravitational Waves from Binary Black Holes by Tuning Higher Harmonics

open access: yes, 2018
For the first time, we construct an inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model within the effective-one-body formalism for spinning, nonprecessing binary black holes that includes gravitational modes beyond the dominant $(\ell,|m|) = (2,2)$ mode ...

A new dissipation term for finite-difference simulations in Relativity

open access: yes, 2007
We present a new numerical dissipation algorithm, which can be efficiently used in combination with centered finite-difference methods. We start from a formulation of centered finite-volume methods for Numerical Relativity, in which third-order space ...
