abstract
We present results from a new code for binary black hole evolutions using the moving-puncture approach, implementing finite differences in generalised coordinates, and allowing the spacetime to be covered with multiple communicating non-singular coordinate patches. Here we consider a regular Cartesian near zone, with adapted spherical grids covering the wave zone. The efficiencies resulting from the use of adapted coordinates allow us to maintain sufficient grid resolution to an artificial outer boundary location which is causally disconnected from the measurement. For the well-studied test-case of the inspiral of an equal-mass non-spinning binary (evolved for more than 8 orbits before merger), we determine the phase and amplitude to numerical accuracies better than 0.010% and 0.090% during inspiral, respectively, and 0.003% and 0.153% during merger. The waveforms, including the resolved higher harmonics, are convergent and can be consistently extrapolated to $r\to\infty$ throughout the simulation, including the merger and ringdown. Ringdown frequencies for these modes (to $(\ell,m)=(6,6)$) match perturbative calculations to within 0.01%, providing a strong confirmation that the remnant settles to a Kerr black hole with irreducible mass $M_{\rm irr} = 0.884355\pm20\times10^{-6}$ and spin $S_f/M_f^2 = 0.686923 \pm 10\times10^{-6}$

Growing black-hole hair in nonminimally coupled biscalar gravity
Numerical simulations in the decoupling limit show that an axion and a dilaton form non-trivial hair around black holes in axi-dilaton gravity, with the kinetic coupling between the fields increasing the effect.

High-Density Sound Speed and Post-Merger Dynamics
The slope of the high-density sound-speed curve shifts the post-merger gravitational-wave peak frequency and ejecta mass, and that peak frequency partially correlates with an integrated 'intrinsic tidal response' — bu...

Strong Field Scattering of Black Holes: Assessing Resummation Strategies
High-energy equal-mass black hole scattering data show that L-resummation, weob, and SEOB-PM models all develop pathological behavior, with NR-calibrated pseudo-5PM corrections and Padé-resummed EOB potentials offerin...
