[HTML][HTML] Continuum and discrete initial-boundary value problems and Einstein's field equations

O Sarbach, M Tiglio - Living reviews in relativity, 2012 - Springer
Many evolution problems in physics are described by partial differential equations on an
infinite domain; therefore, one is interested in the solutions to such problems for a given …

Large-misalignment mechanism for the formation of compact axion structures: Signatures from the QCD axion to fuzzy dark matter

A Arvanitaki, S Dimopoulos, M Galanis, L Lehner… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Axions are some of the best motivated particles beyond the Standard Model. We show how
the attractive self-interactions of dark matter (DM) axions over a broad range of masses, from …

Nonlinear effects in the black hole ringdown: Absorption-induced mode excitation

L Sberna, P Bosch, WE East, SR Green, L Lehner - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Gravitational-wave observations of black hole ringdowns are commonly used to characterize
binary merger remnants and to test general relativity. These analyses assume linear black …

Evolutions in 3D numerical relativity using fixed mesh refinement

E Schnetter, SH Hawley, I Hawke - Classical and quantum gravity, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We present results of 3D numerical simulations using a finite difference code featuring fixed
mesh refinement (FMR), in which a subset of the computational domain is refined in space …

Gravitational wave signatures of highly compact boson star binaries

C Palenzuela, P Pani, M Bezares, V Cardoso, L Lehner… - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
Solitonic boson stars are stable objects made of a complex scalar field with a compactness
that can reach values comparable to that of neutron stars. A recent study of the collision of …

Effects of the microphysical equation of state in the mergers of magnetized neutron stars with neutrino cooling

C Palenzuela, SL Liebling, D Neilsen, L Lehner… - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We study the merger of binary neutron stars using different realistic, microphysical nuclear
equations of state, as well as incorporating magnetic field and neutrino cooling effects. In …

Three-dimensional relativistic simulations of rotating neutron-star collapse to a Kerr black hole

L Baiotti, I Hawke, PJ Montero, F Löffler, L Rezzolla… - Physical Review D …, 2005 - APS
We present a new three-dimensional fully general-relativistic hydrodynamics code using
high-resolution shock-capturing techniques and a conformal traceless formulation of the …

Black hole dynamics in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory

EW Hirschmann, L Lehner, SL Liebling, C Palenzuela - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We consider the properties and dynamics of black holes within a family of alternative
theories of gravity, namely Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. We analyze the dynamical …

Nonlinear, noniterative treatment of EFT-motivated gravity

R Cayuso, L Lehner - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We study a higher derivative extension to General Relativity and present a fully nonlinear/
nonperturbative treatment to construct initial data and study its dynamical behavior in …

Neutron star mergers as a probe of modifications of general relativity with finite-range scalar forces

L Sagunski, J Zhang, MC Johnson, L Lehner… - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
Observations of gravitational radiation from compact binary systems provide an
unprecedented opportunity to test general relativity in the strong field dynamical regime. In …
