Detectability of compact binary merger macronovae

S. Rosswog, U. Feindt, O. Korobkin +4

We study the optical and near-infrared luminosities and detectability of radioactively powered electromagnetic transients ('macronovae') occuring in the aftermath of binary neutron…

Explosion Dynamics of Parametrized Spherically Symmetric Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations

Kevin Ebinger, Sanjana Sinha, Carla Fröhlich +6

We report on a method, PUSH, for triggering core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosions of massive stars in spherical symmetry. This method provides a framework to study many importa…

The Properties of Short gamma-ray burst Jets Triggered by neutron star mergers

Ariadna Murguia-Berthier, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Gabriela Montes +6

The most popular model for short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) involves the coalescence of binary neutron stars. Because the progenitor is actually hidden from view, we must consider un…

Neutrino Flavor Evolution in Binary Neutron Star Merger Remnants

Maik Frensel, Meng-Ru Wu, Cristina Volpe +1

We study the neutrino flavor evolution in the neutrino-driven wind from a binary neutron star merger remnant consisting of a massive neutron star surrounded by an accretion disk. W…

Production of the entire range of r-process nuclides by black hole accretion disc outflows from neutron star mergers

Meng-Ru Wu, Rodrigo Fernández, Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo +1

We consider -process nucleosynthesis in outflows from black hole accretion discs formed in double neutron star and neutron star -- black hole mergers. These outflows, powered by…

Radioactivity and thermalization in the ejecta of compact object mergers and their impact on kilonova light curves

Jennifer Barnes, Daniel Kasen, Meng-Ru Wu +1

One of the most promising electromagnetic signatures of compact object mergers are kilonovae: approximately isotropic radioactively-powered transients that peak days to weeks post-…

Erratum: Progenitor-explosion connection and remnant birth masses for neutrino-driven supernovae of iron-core progenitors (2012, ApJ, 757, 69)

Thomas Ertl, Marcella Ugliano, H. -Thomas Janka +2

An erroneous interpretation of the hydrodynamical results led to an incorrect determination of the fallback masses in Ugliano et al. (2012), which also (on a smaller level) affects…

Measuring the neutron star equation of state using X-ray timing

Anna L. Watts, Nils Andersson, Deepto Chakrabarty +15

One of the primary science goals of the next generation of hard X-ray timing instruments is to determine the equation of state of the matter at supranuclear densities inside neutro…
