Numerical relativity simulations of precessing binary neutron star mergers

Numerical relativity simulations of precessing binary neutron star mergers

We present the first set of numerical relativity simulations of binary neutron mergers that include spin precession effects and are evolved with multiple resolutions. Our simulations employ consistent initial data in general relativity with different spin configurations and dimensionless spin magnitudes $\ensuremath{\sim}0.1$. They start at a gravitational-wave frequency of $\ensuremath{\sim}392\text{ …
