Optimization of Finite-Differencing Kernels for Numerical Relativity Applications

open access: yesJournal of Low Power Electronics and Applications, 2018
A simple optimization strategy for the computation of 3D finite-differencing kernels on many-cores architectures is proposed. The 3D finite-differencing computation is split direction-by-direction and exploits two level of parallelism: in-core ...

Dynamical boson stars

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2017
The idea of stable, localized bundles of energy has strong appeal as a model for particles. In the 1950s, John Wheeler envisioned such bundles as smooth configurations of electromagnetic energy that he called geons, but none were found. Instead, particle-

Numerical Approaches to Spacetime Singularities

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 1998
This review updates a previous review article. Numerical explorationof the properties of singularities could, in principle, yield detailed understanding of their nature in physically realistic cases.

Conformal Infinity

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2004
The notion of conformal infinity has a long history within the research in Einstein's theory of gravity. Today, 'conformal infinity' is related to almost all other branches of research in general relativity, from quantisation procedures to abstract ...

Axisymmetric Numerical Relativity

open access: yes, 2006
This thesis is concerned with formulations of the Einstein equations in axisymmetric spacetimes which are suitable for numerical evolutions. We develop two evolution systems based on the (2+1)+1 formalism. The first is a (partially) constrained scheme with elliptic gauge conditions arising from maximal slicing and conformal flatness.

Numerical Relativity and Astrophysics

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014
Throughout the Universe many powerful events are driven by strong gravitational effects that require general relativity to fully describe them. These include compact binary mergers, black hole accretion, and stellar collapse, where velocities can approach the speed of light and extreme gravitational fields (ΦNewt/c2≃1) mediate the interactions.

Numerical Relativity in 3+1 Dimensions

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, 2000
AbstractNumerical relativity is finally approaching a state where the evolution of rather general (3+1)‐dimensional data sets can be computed in order to solve the Einstein equations. After a general introduction, three topics of current interest are briefly reviewed: binary black hole mergers, the evolution of strong gravitational waves, and shift ...

RisingTides: An Analytic Modeling Code of Tidal Effects in Binary Neutron Star Mergers

open access: yesAstronomy
Gravitational waves produced by binary neutron star mergers offer a unique window into matter behavior under extreme conditions. In this context, we analytically model the effect of matter on gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers. We start

Numerical Relativity Injection Infrastructure

open access: yes, 2017
This document describes the new Numerical Relativity (NR) injection infrastructure in the LIGO Algorithms Library (LAL), which henceforth allows for the usage of NR waveforms as a discrete waveform approximant in LAL. With this new interface, NR waveforms provided in the described format can directly be used as simulated GW signals ("injections") for ...
