Description
We will present recent results in three areas related to neutron stars and gravitational waves, obtained through large-scale numerical simulations on modern high-performance computing systems:
A. The fully nonlinear evolution of neutron-star dynamics and the associated gravitational-wave spectra.
B. The dynamics of interacting neutron stars prior to merger, together with the emission of gravitational and electromagnetic waves.
C. The nonlinear dynamics of neutron stars in alternative theories of gravity.
These studies rely on large-scale three-dimensional numerical relativity simulations, advanced parallel algorithms to solve the coupled Einstein-hydrodynamics equations with high accuracy.
