This award supports the study of computer simulations of black holes in orbit with each other or with neutron stars. More specifically, computer codes will be developed to construct numerical solutions to Einstein's equations of General Relativity. The emphasis of this project will be to explore methods and algorithms for the initial data for isolated black holes or black holes in orbit that will lead to models of orbiting black holes that are more realistic than those that are currently available.Understanding black holes in binary systems is important for our understanding of gravity, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. In more practical terms, accurate models of orbiting black holes are crucial for data analysis in the NSF-funded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), designed to detect gravitational radiation emitted by such systems. This award also supports undergraduate students who are actively involved in this research, and who receive valuable training preparing them for future careers in the sciences and beyond.

该奖项支持彼此或中子恒星对轨道上黑洞的计算机模拟研究。 更具体地说，将开发计算机代码来构建爱因斯坦一般相对论方程的数值解决方案。 该项目的重点是探索用于隔离黑洞或轨道上的孤立的黑洞或黑洞的方法和算法，这将导致与当前可用的黑洞更现实的绕线模型。在二元系统中理解黑洞更为现实。在二进制系统中，对我们对自然的四种基本力量之一的理解很重要。 用更实际的术语，准确的轨道黑洞模型对于NSF资助的激光干涉仪重力波动台（LIGO）中的数据分析至关重要，该模型旨在检测该系统发出的重力辐射。 该奖项还支持积极参与这项研究的本科生，并接受了宝贵的培训，为科学及其他地区的未来职业做准备。
