PunctureTracker tracks black hole Punctures (singularities) by subtracting the value of the shift at the current location (the pucnture is advected with the shift) storing the location in a “SphericalSurface” one can use this information in Regrid2 to let the grid follow the BHs.
PunctureTracker has the followoing options: -pt_track_punctures (boolean, that triggers action)
-pt_verbose (integer that give the verbosity level)
-pt_num_tracked (integer that tells how many Punctures are to be tracked)
-pt_initial_x (double: Initial x coordinate positions of BHs)
-pt_initial_y (double: Initial y coordinate positions of BHs)
-pt_initial_z (double: Initial z coordinate positions of BHs)
-pt_which_surface_to_take (integer: which Spherical Surface should be used to store the new puncture
location)
-(pt_loc_x, pt_loc_y, pt_loc_z) location of puncture -(pt_shiftx, pt_shifty, pt_shiftz) value of shift at location of puncture

This section lists all the variables which are assigned storage by thorn EinsteinAnalysis/PunctureTracker. Storage can either last for the duration of the run (Always means that if this thorn is activated storage will be assigned, Conditional means that if this thorn is activated storage will be assigned for the duration of the run if some condition is met), or can be turned on for the duration of a schedule function.
