Story summary
  • The Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes Collaboration (SXS Collaboration) released a catalog of black hole mergers, nearly doubling data.
  • The catalog includes 3,756 simulations to model gravitational waves from black hole collisions.
  • Goethe University developed a numerical code to better model rotating black holes powering jets.
  • Findings indicate magnetic reconnection and the Blandford-Znajek mechanism contribute to energy extraction.
