Simulations of Binary Black Hole Mergers
COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited
Abstract
I will review recent advances in the simulation of binary black hole mergers using a numerical scheme based on generalized harmonic coordinates. After a brief overview of the formalism and method I will show results from the evolution of several different classes of initial data, including unequal mass binaries and Cook-Pfieffer quasi-circular inspiral data sets.
