Work In Progress!!!

Documents:

• (1-4-2002) : Preliminary Report : Document containing all the equations and methods used for my current research.
  
  
• (4-4-2000) : Summary: This is short document containing all the difference equations currently used for my code.
  
  
• (11-30-2001) : Animation of Log(dm/dr) for Gamma=2, rho_c=0.2. I generated the data, and Matt made it look pretty using Explorer.

Results:

• (1-4-2002) TOV Star Solutions; This page contains plots of the solutions to the TOV equations, which are the equations describing static general relativistic hydrodynamic systems.
  
  
• (1-4-2002) Type-I Critical Behavior in TOV Stars; Analysis of present results in Type-I critical Collapse of TOV stars;
  
  
• (1-4-2002) Type-II Critical Behavior in TOV Stars; Analysis of present results in Type-II critical Collapse of TOV stars;

Models:

• (8-3-1999) : 1-D Cartesian Tau & S Model : This model integrates the conservation variables Tau and S; it is a planar-symmetric (invariant w.r.t. y and z) model in which the fluid is not self-gravitating.
