FAU Numerical Relativity Data Repository
This repository contains data from simulations performed by the Numerical
Relativity group at FAU. The purpose of the repository is to collect and
describe the results of our simulations. We make these data available to
any research group without any restrictions. We only ask that users cite
the papers listed below, and that they consider collaborating with us.
More data and descriptions will be added over time. SVN access may be added
if there is sufficient demand for it. For now, each file can be downloaded
directly using any web browser.
The data format for the waveforms here is the same as for the NRAR
collaboration. This format is explained in
http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.0093.
Each data file is compressed with gzip, and needs to be decompressed with
gunzip, before it can be used (e.g. with tgraph).
Each data file folder also contains a readme file.
For inquiries and requests please write to
wolf@fau.edu.
Software to access data

Simulation data
Gravitational waveforms and black hole trajectories
for simulations of ADMTT based post-Newtonian initial data
These simulations were performed by George Reifenberger as
part of his Ph.D. thesis
(http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013PhDT.......221R).
Data files
Gravitational waveforms and black hole trajectories
for simulations starting from standard puncture initial data

Data files
Gravitational waveforms and trajectories
for simulations of neutron star binaries with spin
These data were produced for our paper
(http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.4443).
