Brady, Llibert Aresté-Saló et al. — «GRTresna is a multigrid solver designed to solve the constraint equations for the initial data required in numerical relativity simulations. In particular it is focussed on scenarios with fundamental fields around black holes and inhomogeneous cosmological…»

17:55 <galois> [arXiv] “FindPOTATOs: Minor Planet Observation Linking Software” C. R. Nugent, Nicole J. Tan, James M. Bauer — «For minor planet observations to be archived and used by the scientific community, observations of individual objects must be linked together into groups called tracklets. This linking is nontrivial, as linking software must find real tracklets in noisy data within a reasonable amount of time. We describe FindPOTATOs, a…»
