Mexican Numerical Relativity School 

February 7-10 Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

Ciudad de México, México


 

Objective

The  Mexican Numerical Relativity School aims to provide graduate students and postdocs with some of the tools needed to master and understand numerical relativity simulations. The series of lectures will cover the fundamentals of solving Einstein equations numerically in strongly gravitating/dynamical regimes. Emphasis will be on fundamentals to lay a solid foundation for venturing into Numerical Relativity. No prior exposure to numerical relativity is required, though basic familiarity with computational physics and general relativity would be desirable.

Lectures:

Lecture 1:Introduction to 3+1 Numerical Relativity (Prof. Miguel Alcubierre, Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM)

Lecture 2: Introduction to Einstein Toolkit (Prof. Tomás Andrade, Universidad de Barcelona)

Lecture 3: Advanced Topics with Einstein Toolkit (Prof. Helvi Witek, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign)
