Binary black holes
Quasiequilibrium configurations in
circular orbits
The data results from computations published in
Access to the data files
Each tar file contains:
- param_static.d : the parameter file for the static solution (Misner-Lindquist),
which was used as initial guess to compute the circular orbit.
- output_static.d : the output file generated when computing the static solution.
- static.d : the static solution.
- param_coal.d : the parameter file used to compute the configuration in circular orbit.
- output_coal.d : the output file generated when computing the configuration.
- bin.d : the configuration in circular orbit.
- res_global.d : some global quantities computed after the generation of the solution (i.e. ADM mass etc...)
Code for reading the data
The code for reading this data and importing into a Cartesian grid
is publically available from the Lorene CVS repository , in
the module Lorene/Export. The code uses a very simple C++ class
Bin_BH, documentation
for which is available in HTML or PDF formats.
