Accurate numerical relativity simulations of non-vacuumspace-times in two dimensions and applications to critical collapse

This Thesis puts its focus on the physics of neutron stars and its description with methods of numerical relativity. In the first step, a new numerical framework the Whisky2D code will be developed, which solves the relativistic equations of hydrodynamics in axisymmetry. Therefore we consider an imp...
