Test-beds and applications for apparent horizon finders in numerical relativity
Open accessAbstract
We present a series of test-beds for numerical codes designed to find apparent horizons. We compare three apparent horizon finders that use different numerical methods: one of them in axisymmetry and two which are fully three dimensional. We concentrate first on a toy model that has a simple horizon structure, and then go on to study single and multiple black hole datasets. We use our finders to look for apparent horizons in Brill wave initial data where we discover that some results published previously are not correct. For pure wave and multiple black hole spacetimes, we apply our finders to survey parameter space.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
