Collaborative Research: Simulating Neutron Star-Black Hole Inspirals: From Binaries to Accretion and Jets

根据该奖项开展的工作将开发所需的基础设施，并将其应用于研究可能产生伽马射线暴现象的现实紧凑双星系统。为此目的，将把所需的物理模块纳入能够利用新一代高性能计算机的新基础设施框架。这一基础设施的实施将使对该系统的深入研究成为可能，目的是预测和解释电磁波和引力波观测的各个方面。这项工作促进了一个令人兴奋的科学问题的计算和数值技术的发展，以及分布式计算先进工具的创建和传播。即将开展的研究的目标是对可能的(短)伽马射线暴系统进行史无前例的描述，并开发一种新的计算模型来有效地利用千万亿次计算。最后，本研究涉及博士后研究人员、研究生和本科生的培养。

The work to be carried out under this award will develop the needed infrastructure and apply it to study realistic compact binary systems that can give rise to gamma ray burst phenomena. To this end the required physics modules will be incorporated in a new infrastructure framework able to exploit the new generation of high performance computers. The implementations of this infrastructure will allow study of the system in depth, with the goal of predicting and interpreting aspects of observations of electromagnetic and gravitational waves. This work serves to advance computational and numerical techniques for an exciting scientific problem, as well as the creation and dissemination of advanced tools for distributed computing. The research to be carried out has as its goal to give an unprecedented description of possible (short) gamma ray burst systems and to develop a new computational model to efficiently utilize petascale computing. Finally, this study involves the training of postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates.
