Short Gamma-Ray Bursts from Binary Neutron Star Mergers
arXiv:astro-ph/0604562 · doi:10.1063/1.2399647
Abstract
We present the results from new relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of binary neutron star mergers using realistic non-zero temperature equations of state. We vary several unknown parameters in the system such as the neutron star (NS) masses, their spins and the nuclear equation of state. The results are then investigated with special focus on the post-merger torus-remnant system. Observational implications on the Gamma-ray burst (GRB) energetics are discussed and compared with recent observations.
