Abstract
Numerical relativity simulations are crucial for studying black holes and have been instrumental in the detection of gravitational waves by the LVK. However, these simulations produce vast amounts of data that must be processed in order to perform studies, create models, and use them with gravitational wave detection pipelines. This paper introduces mayawaves, an open-source python library for processing, studying, and exporting numerical relativity simulations performed using the Einstein Toolkit and MAYA. Mayawaves streamlines the process of analyzing simulations with an intuitive interface, greatly reducing the learning curve for numerical relativity.
