We describe a modification of a fourth-order accurate ``moving puncture'' evolution code, where by replacing spatial fourth-order accurate differencing operators in the bulk of the grid by a specific choice of sixth-order accurate stencils we gain significant improvements in accuracy. We illustrate the performance of the modified algorithm with an equal-mass simulation covering nine orbits.

    Fits to numerical relativity data indicate that leading-order post-Newtonian dependence on mass ratio persists in several modes of binary black hole mergers through the merger, while low-degree polynomials capture dev...
