Implementing fully relativistic hydrodynamics in three dimensions

We report on our numerical implementation of fully relativistic hydrodynamics coupled to Einstein's field equations in three spatial dimensions. We briefly review several steps in our code development, including our recasting of Einstein's equations and several tests which demonstrate its advantages for numerical integrations. We outline our implementation of relativistic hydrodynamics, and present numerical results for the evolution of both stable and unstable Oppenheimer-Volkov equilibrium stars, which represent a very promising first test of our code.
