Numerical evolution of black holes with a hyperbolic formulation of general relativity
Numerical evolution of black holes with a hyperbolic formulation of general relativity
We describe a numerical code that solves Einstein's equations for a Schwarzschild black hole in spherical symmetry, using a hyperbolic formulation introduced by Choquet-Bruhat and York. This is the first time this formulation has been used to evolve a numerical spacetime containing a black hole. We excise the hole from …
