Hello all,
with day 3 of the school is over, we have reached the half-way point, but are not slowing down yet.
AN even 100 participants attended Vassilios Mewes lecture on the GRMHD< covering mathematical theory, as well as numerical methods and their implementation the Einstein Toolkit's GRHydro code.
Looking beyond the codes in the Einstein Toolkit, Federico Cipolletta presented on the Cactus based Spritz GRMHD code while Boris Daszuta showcased design and performance of the Athenta++ code.
Lightning talks resumed today with 5 lightning talks being presented. Jay Kalinani provided details on the conservative to primitive recovery scheme used in Spritz, Dhruv Desai and Xinyu Li reported on neutrino driven winds from neutron stars and neutrino flavor conversion in accretion disk simulations using a modified GRHydro code. Atul Kedia talked about binary neutron star simulations exploring new equations of state for neutron star matter. Finally Alexandru Dima provided and example of beyond-Einstein theories of gravity explored with the Einstein Toolkit when reporting on his neutron star simulations ins screened modified gravity.
All available recordings and slides are now uploaded to the respective talk pages and collected in a YouTube playlist:
