Gravity summaryGravity summaryOur supernova simulations wil l be Newtonian for the
next few years.Collapse has been done in spherical symmetry.Post-bounce evolution gives signals that probably are too
weak for LIGO.We have developed and are working with conservative
formulations of relativistic radiative transfer.We are developing GenASiS, an AMR code with
radiation transport; make progress on the “dirty astrophysics” of NS-NS mergers.
We want to incorporate full relativity in GenASiS.
