We review the dramatic progress in the simulations of compact objects and compact-object
binaries that has taken place in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This includes …

Event and apparent horizons are key diagnostics for the presence and properties of black
holes. In this article I review numerical algorithms and codes for finding event and apparent …

This book introduces the modern field of 3+ 1 numerical relativity. The book has been written
in a way as to be as self-contained as possible, and only assumes a basic knowledge of …

This monograph originates from lectures given at the General Relativity Trimester at the
Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris [1]; at the VII Mexican School on Gravitation and …

We present single and binary black-hole simulations that follow the “moving-puncture”
paradigm of simulating black-hole spacetimes without excision, and use “moving boxes” …

Model waveforms are used in gravitational wave data analysis to detect and then to
measure the properties of a source by matching the model waveforms to the signal from a …

These lecture notes provide some introduction to the 3+ 1 formalism of general relativity,
which is the foundation of most modern numerical relativity. The text is rather self-contained …

We present the first fully-nonlinear numerical study of the dynamics of highly-spinning-black-
hole binaries. We evolve binaries from quasicircular orbits (as inferred from post-Newtonian …

Numerical simulations of 15 orbits of an equal-mass binary black-hole system are
presented. Gravitational waveforms from these simulations, covering more than 30 cycles …

Autonomous gravitational-wave searches—fully automated analyses of data that run without
human intervention or assistance—are desirable for a number of reasons. They are …
