Improving Neutron Star Mergers with Advanced Computational Methods - Jacob Fields

Institute for Advanced Study Astrophysics Seminar Topic: Improving Neutron Star Mergers with Advanced Computational Methods Speaker: Jacob Fields Affiliation: Institute for Advanced Study Date: March 05, 2026 Bloomberg Lecture Hall Continual improvements to our observational capabilities promise a wealth of data from binary neutron star systems in the coming years and decades, which will find broad applications across several fields of physics. However, the current generation of models for interpreting these events contain uncertainties and systematic errors that make them unsuitable for future events. In this talk, I will discuss how some of these problems arise from limitations in numerical relativity. I will then focus on recent efforts to help address some of these limitations through more efficient computational techniques and more accurate numerical methods. In each case, I will also highlight science applications that are being enabled by these improvements.
