Hello all, the second day of the virtual North American Einstein Toolkit Summer School 2021 was all about initial data: almost 120 participants learned about the theoretical foundation behind binary neutron star initial data codes (Joshua Faber), how to generate initial data using LORENE (Atul Kedia), and finally how to use LORENE initial data with the Einstein Toolkit (Bruno Giacomazzo).
Gabriele Bozzola showcased kuibit a free and open-source Python library to analyze and visualize Einstein Toolkit simulations with a strong focus on accessible documentation and usability. Continuing a series of presentations around CarpetX, Erik Schnetter provided an update on the current status of the future CarpetX driver thorn for the Einstein Toolkit, based on AMReX. Erik also stuck around for the tutorial help session after the school ended and gave an ad-hoc tutorial on how the parts of a typical Einstein Toolkit parameter file for binary black hole simulations are set. All recordings and slides are now uploaded to the respective talk pages and collected in a YouTube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRxi-yB7cTGfIPyQLSNulydOAPSPHN2Hc Please join us again tomorrow at 8:25 AM CDT via Zoom or via the YouTube stream at: https://go.illinois.edu/et2021uiuc for more interesting presentations and lightning talks. See the program https://einsteintoolkit.github.io/et2021uiuc/program.html for upcoming presentations and tutorials. Yours, the organizers _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/users
