论文摘要
爱因斯坦工具包为学生提供了探索数字相对性世界的独特机会,而无需高级计算能力或模拟本身背后数学知识。本文档旨在充当旨在学习并参与数值相对性的学生的资源,专门针对二进制黑洞合并的建模,以产生样品引力波形,就像通过引力波检测器(如Ligo)所测量的。 还首次探索了在亚马逊网络服务(AWS)上使用爱因斯坦工具包(AWS)的可行性,这证实了学生或公民科学家获得足以访问并运行自己的数值相对性模拟的高级计算能力的潜力(但昂贵)的可行性。
The Einstein Toolkit represents a unique opportunity for students to explore the world of numerical relativity, without the need for high-level computing power or knowledge of the mathematics behind the simulations themselves. This document aims to act as a resource for students aiming to learn about and get involved with Numerical Relativity, focusing specifically on the modelling of Binary Black Hole Mergers in order to produce sample Gravitational Waveforms as would be measured by Gravitational Wave detectors such as LIGO. The feasibility of using the Einstein Toolkit on Amazon's Web Services (AWS) has also been explored for the first time, confirming a potential - yet expensive - method for students or citizen scientists to gain access to high-level computing power sufficient to play with and run their own numerical relativity simulations.
