Progress in the evolution of collapsing gravitational waves — •david hilditch — TPI Jena

I will present simulations of collapsing gravitational waves obtained using two methods. First, using the moving puncture gauge, I show that it is possible to evolve certain types of initial data through apparent horizon formation. Secondly I will present a new pseudo-spectral code which we are using to tackle the same initial data.
