Hi Helvi: The NCSA Gravity Group has been working on this front for some time now.
We have ongoing collaborations with Ian Hinder at the AEI in the context of binary black hole simulations, and now with other European colleagues working on the use of GRHydro for matter simulations. We are participating actively within LIGO developing code to convert cactus simulations into the format requested by LIGO to use numerical relativity simulations, and so on and so forth… In terms of eye candy for tax payers, feel free to use the following videos. All of them advertise the use of the ET for the scientific visualizations Neutron star discovery (advertised by LIGO in the press release on ligo.org<http://ligo.org>) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13xfdhJGqrY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eaP7IGRBEY&t=9s Discovery of GW170814 (advertised by LIGO in the press release on ligo.org<http://ligo.org>) https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=ySSvOVZ2VL4 Third BBH merger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYWK26jklDg&t=1s BTW: are you part of the LSC/Virgo?

In the end of the week we are opening our traveling exhibition "Unraveling the dark universe"<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__serviastro.am.ub.edu_twiki_bin_view_ServiAstro_UniversFosc&d=DwMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=SSRVjDlLLsQaEiZy7iM8BPn1ElYHYzXg46PmKPii77k&m=VYIJofUgfNE97s57tFHay0qGLW-imGjvAX9zO-fMjAg&s=BENUZJgSzAtjc5-cl49sPMs6-w51dhnUKLNyqet2d6Y&e=> and, as probably many of you these days, we will have a number of outreach talks about gravitational waves. In this context I was looking for animations produced with the toolkit, in addition to the BBH material that I already had from the SXS collaboration, to give more credit to it. I noticed a few things that we could improve - update the gallery on the website. At the moment the only animation of an event is that by Barry for GW150914. It would be nice to have more of a collection for the other events, and in particular for GW170817. As first step we could collect links to the youtube channels of different groups. - that brings me to a second suggestion: should we bundle those animations, e.g., in a ET youtube channel? At the moment, a quick search leads to filmed talks and lectures (which is important, too, of course), but try the same for SXS and you'll get a list of animations by the collaboration. A first step to give more visibility to the toolkit could be to add the logo to the credits. This is essentially to spark some discussion, and if there is interest, we can follow up on it in one of the next calls. cheers, Helvi =========================================== Dr. Helvi Witek Marie-Curie Research Fellow Dep.
