Abstract
We expand upon our previous analysis of numerical moving-puncture simulations of the Schwarzschild spacetime. We present a derivation of the family of analytic stationary 1 + log foliations of the Schwarzschild solution, and outline a transformation to isotropic coordinates. We discuss in detail the numerical evolution of standard Schwarzschild puncture data, and the new time-independent 1 + log data. Finally, we demonstrate that the moving-puncture method can locate the appropriate stationary geometry in a robust manner when a numerical code alternates between two forms of 1 + log slicing during a simulation.
