Title |
A Review of Recent Developments in Numerical and Analytical Relativity | |||||

Abstract |
I will summarise recent work in the area of numerical solutions to the Einstein equations and comparisons with approximate analytical solutions to the two-body problem. The first full-GR numerical solutions to the orbiting binary black hole problem were obtained 10 years ago, and since then, accuracy and parameter-space coverage have steadily improved. At the same time, models based on analytic approximations have been developed and improved, often making use of numerical relativity results for calibration purposes. I will present the state-of-the-art of these comparisons. |
