Python Open Source Waveform Extractor (POWER): An open source, Python package to monitor and post-process numerical relativity simulations
Numerical simulations of Einstein’s field equations provide unique insights into the physics of compact objects moving at relativistic speeds, and which are driven by strong gravitational interactions. Numerical relativity has played a key role to firmly establish gravitational wave astrophysics as a new field of research, and it is now paving the way to establish whether gravitational wave rad...
متن کاملGravitational waves from axisymmetrically oscillating neutron stars in general relativistic simulations
Gravitational waves from oscillating neutron stars in axial symmetry are studied performing numerical simulations in full general relativity. Neutron stars are modeled by a polytropic equation of state for simplicity. A gaugeinvariant wave extraction method as well as a quadrupole formula are adopted for computation of gravitational waves. It is found that the gauge-invariant variables systemat...
متن کاملGrowth of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Globular Clusters
We present results of numerical simulations of sequences of binary-single scattering events of black holes in dense stellar environments. The simulations cover a wide range of mass ratios from equal mass objects to 1000:10:10 M⊙ and compare purely Newtonian simulations to simulations in which Newtonian encounters are interspersed with gravitational wave emission from the binary. In both cases, ...
متن کاملOn the accuracy and precision of numerical waveforms: Effect of waveform extraction methodology
We present a new set of 95 numerical relativity simulations of non-precessing binary black holes (BBHs). The simulations sample comprehensively both black-hole spins up to spin magnitude of 0.9, and cover mass ratios 1 to 3. The simulations cover on average 24 inspiral orbits, plus merger and ringdown, with low initial orbital eccentricities e < 10−4. A subset of the simulations extends the cov...
متن کاملExploring tidal effects of coalescing binary neutron stars in numerical relativity
We study gravitational waves emitted in the late inspiral stage of binary neutron stars by analyzing the wave form obtained in numerical-relativity simulations. For deriving the physical gravitational wave forms from the numerical results, the resolution extrapolation plays an essential role for our simulations. The extrapolated gravitational-wave phases are compared with those calculated in th...
