*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"Computations of Extreme Gravitational Physics"
Abstract:
Gravitational-wave interferometers will give us a revolutionary view of the Universe, complementary to the perspective provided by photon astronomy. The detection and characterization of gravitational waves is a formidable undertaking, requiring innovative engineering, powerful data analysis tools and in particular careful numerical modeling. Binary black holes are expected to be one of the primary sources of gravitational radiation. I will review the latest developments in numerical relativity to model binary black holes, including the role that these simulations have of assisting us in exploring where and how gravitational wave observations can enhance our understanding of astronomical phenomena and gravity.
