Gravitational waves have been confirmed. Tools are available for their study, including the Einstein Toolkit, SimulationTools and the SXS Gravitational Waveform Database.


Simulating Magnetospheres With Numerical Relativity: The Giraffe Code, Maria Babiuc-Hamilton Jan 2016

Simulating Magnetospheres With Numerical Relativity: The Giraffe Code, Maria Babiuc-Hamilton

Physics Faculty Research

Numerical Relativity is successful in the simulation of black holes and gravitational waves. In recent years, teams have tackled the problem of the interaction of gravitational and electromagnetic waves. We developed a new code for the numerical simulation of neutron and black hole magnetospheres, using the FFE formalism. We tested the performance of the new code named GiRaFFE, in 1D and 3D test suits. We will study magnetospheres, focusing on jets by the Blandford -Znajek mechanism.
