Status of binary-black-hole simulations with SpECTRE

ORAL

Abstract

Next-generation gravitational-wave detectors will observe binary black holes with unprecedented fidelity. To avoid introducing bias when interpreting these observations, numerical-relativity models of binary black holes will need to achieve an order of magnitude higher accuracy than today's state of the art. One promising avenue for achieving this accuracy is next-generation numerical relativity codes designed to leverage the exascale computing resources expected in the next decade. In this talk, I will discuss progress toward enabling SpECTRE, a next-generation numerical-relativity code being developed by the SXS Collaboration, to simulate binary black holes.
