Numerical simulations of black hole and neutron star systems — •Bernd Brügmann — Uni Jena

Much anticipated and finally here, the first detection of gravitational waves from black holes and neutron star mergers is a fantastic success for gravitational wave physics. Part of the success story are great advances in numerical general relativity that allow us to simulate binaries with increasing levels of complexity. In this talk we focus on the methods of numerical general relativity which allow us to perform computer simulations of black holes and neutron stars, and how such simulations are connected to actual gravitational wave observations.
