Error-analysis and comparison to analytical models of numerical waveforms produced by the NRAR Collaboration

Ian Hinder, +69 more
TL;DR: The first stage of the NRAR project focused on producing an initial set of numerical waveforms from binary black holes with moderate mass ratios and spins, as well as one non-spinning binary configuration which has a mass ratio of 10 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equilibrium models of relativistic stars with a toroidal magnetic field

TL;DR: In this article, a model of rotating relativistic stars with a toroidal magnetic field and rotation has been proposed to compute the surface deformation and the quadrupole distortion up to significant levels of rotation and magnetisation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate Simulations of Binary Black Hole Mergers in Force-free Electrodynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide additional information on the electromagnetic emission produced during the inspiral and merger of supermassive black holes when these are immersed in a force-free plasma threaded by a uniform magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI

When Did the Remnant of GW170817 Collapse to a Black Hole

TL;DR: In this paper, the survival time of GW170817 was determined by combining two different constraints, namely, the time needed to produce the requisite blue-ejecta mass and that necessary for the relativistic jet to bore its way out of the expanding ejecta.
Journal ArticleDOI

Instability-driven evolution of poloidal magnetic fields in relativistic stars

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the nonlinear evolution of a nonrotating neutron star with a purely poloidal magnetic field in general relativity and find that an instability develops in the region of the closed magnetic field lines and over an Alfven timescale, as predicted by perturbation theory.
