Abstract

We are writing the first open-source, general relativistic force-free electrodynamics code: GiRaFFE. The goal is to numerically simulate neutron star and black hole magnetospheres. The GiRaFFE is alive! It has passed a number of 1D code validation tests, and 3D tests are underway. We plan to release the code and test suite initial data routines open-source to the community.
