Puncture-Based Evolutions of Highly Spinning Black-Hole Binaries

ORAL

Abstract

We recently developed a code for solving the 3+1 system of constraints for highly-spinning black-hole binary initial data in the puncture formalism. Here we explore how different choices of gauge can be used to efficiently evolve binaries with near maximal spins.
