Excision Results:

• Merger Results:    
• Frans' Work (earlier stuff)

Evolutions:

• Also see the talks above, in particular this one.
• Prolate Scalar Collapse
  The lapse drops to a minimum of about 0.5:
  • initial data specification (Resolution: 49x97)
  • Lapse(alpha(rho,z,t)) [MPEG: 0.87 MB]
  • Scalar Field(phi(rho,z,t)) [MPEG: 0.94 MB]
• Collapse of Oblate Scalar Field to a Black Hole
  The lapse drops to a minimum of 0.038 and appears as if it will continue to collapse:
  • initial data specification (Resolution: 193x385)
  • Lapse(alpha(rho,z,t)) [MPEG: 0.63 MB]
  • Scalar Field(phi(rho,z,t)) [MPEG: 0.65 MB]
• Brill wave collapse
  The lapse would seem to indicate very little mass in the spacetime:
  • initial data specification (Resolution: 193x385)
  • Lapse(alpha(rho,z,t)) [MPEG: 0.93 MB]
  • Sigma Field(sigma(rho,z,t)) [MPEG: 0.99 MB]
