Spacetime in Turmoil: Insights into merging black holes and neutron stars from computational relativistic astrophysics
Abstract: Black holes and neutron stars are at the heart of many high-energy astrophysical phenomena and continue to inspire several aspects of modern theoretical physics and astrophysics.
Powering some of the most luminous transients in the universe across the electromagnetic band and the gravitational wave spectrum, merging compact binaries are prime targets for current and future multi-messenger astronomy.
Leveraging advances in modern computational relativistic astrophysics and numerical relativity enables us to uncover novel insights into this extreme side of the relativistic universe.
In this talk, I will show some of the most recent developments in this field, including how black holes can power the strongest shocks in the universe, or how strong magnetic fields may alter the evolution of supermassive black hole binaries, and can enable new electromagnetic transients in the upcoming age of space-based gravitational wave detections.
