Continuum limit of the $D$ meson, $D_s$ meson and charmonium spectrum   from $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass lattice QCD
  We compute masses of $D$ meson, $D_s$ meson and charmonium states using $N_f=2+1+1$ Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. All results are extrapolated to physical light quark masses, physical strange and charm quark masses and to the continuum. Our analysis includes states with spin $J = 0,1,2$, parity $\mathcal{P} = -,+$ and in case of charmonium also charge conjugation $\mathcal{C} = -,+$. Computations are based on a large set of quark-antiquark meson creation operators. We investigate and quantify all sources of systematic errors, including fitting range uncertainties, finite volume effects, isospin breaking effects and the choice of the fitting ansatz for the combined chiral and continuum extrapolation such that the resulting meson masses can be compared directly and in a meaningful way to experimental results. Within combined statistical and systematic errors, which are between below two per mille and three percent, our results agree with available experimental results for most of the states. In the few cases where we observe discrepancies, we discuss possible reasons.
