We give full details regarding the new Cauchy-characteristic evolution (CCE) system in SpECTRE. The implementation is built to provide streamlined flexibility for either extracting waveforms during the process of a SpECTRE binary compact object simulation, or as a standalone module for extracting waveforms from worldtube data provided by another code base. Using our recently presented improved analytic formulation, the CCE system is free of pure-gauge logarithms that would spoil the spectral convergence of the scheme. It gracefully extracts all five Weyl scalars, in addition to the news and the strain. The SpECTRE CCE system makes significant improvements on previous implementations in modularity, ease of use, and speed of computation.

  1. From spatial to null infinity: Connecting initial data to peeling

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For asymptotically regular spacetimes, parity-time reversal symmetry of the leading and subleading initial data implies the Weyl scalars Psi2 and Psi1 peel at null infinity with rates 1/r^3 and 1/r^4.

  2. Towards long and accurate numerical relativity waveforms of binary black holes beyond general relativity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Spectral methods plus comoving fixing-the-equations drivers yield 40+ cycle equal-mass sGB binary waveforms with phase error ≲1 rad, distinguishable from GR and merging earlier.

  3. High-accuracy drivers to simulate black hole binaries beyond general relativity with the fixing-the-equations approach

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Comoving tensor-aware driver equations in SpECTRE yield ~40-cycle sGB binary waveforms with O(1) rad phase error and eccentricity ≲10^{-3}, free of spurious spin growth.

  4. Fixing the center-of-mass frame of numerical relativity waveforms using the post-Newtonian center-of-mass charge

    gr-qc 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A post-Newtonian model of the boosted center-of-mass charge makes BMS frame-fixing of nonprecessing, unequal-mass NR waveforms less sensitive to the fitting window, reducing parameter variance by up to ~25x.

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new open-source GPU code, AthenaK, reproduces the GW150914 merger: remnant mass within 0.01%, spin within 0.02%, and waveform phase within about 0.35 radians of established simulations.
