GrayHawk v2: wormholes and numeric extension
Abstract
We enlarged the capabilities of the publicly available Mathematica-based tool GrayHawk. This second version expands the spectrum of metrics that can be considered in two distinct and disjoined directions. First, it enables a fully numerical computation of the tortoise coordinates integral, allowing the user to account for many metrics for which an analytic computation was impractical. Second, it extends the scattering problem to wormhole solutions. The pool of pre-loaded metrics is enriched, enabling immediate testing of the new features, and the code's modular structure is maintained to facilitate easy modification. This implementation proves GrayHawk adaptability and makes it an even more powerful tool for studying black holes, wormholes, Hawking radiation, and other features involving field propagation on curved manifolds. The codes described in this work are publicly available at https://github.com/marcocalza89/GrayHawk-v2.
