Evolution of a magnetized accretion disk using SpECTRE

ORAL

Abstract

A primary goal of the open-source SpECTRE project is to simulate the disruption of neutron stars in compact-object binary systems. As a step towards this goal, we present the evolution of a relativistic magnetized accretion disk in a fixed gravitational field. The evolution uses a hybrid scheme of a discontinuous Galerkin method with embedded finite-difference regions for shock capturing.
