Simulating Precessing Binary Black Holes with SpECTRE

ORAL

Abstract

SpECTRE is a next-generation numerical-relativity code that uses a discontinuous Galerkin method combined with task-based parallelism. Over the next decade, new gravitational wave observatories will require highly accurate models of the binary black holes they expect to observe, including binaries with precessing spins and unequal masses; near the time of merger, these models necessarily rely on numerical relativity simulations. In this talk I will discuss the progress towards simulating precessing binary black hole systems and the gravitational waves they emit using SpECTRE.
