Relativistic Mass Ejecta from Phase-transition-induced Collapse of Neutron Stars

K. S. Cheng, T. Harko, Y. F. Huang +3

We study the dynamical evolution of a phase-transition-induced collapse neutron star to a hybrid star, which consists of a mixture of hadronic matter and strange quark matter. The…

Could the compact remnant of SN 1987A be a quark star?

T. C. Chan, K. S. Cheng, T. Harko +4

The standard model for Type II supernovae explosion, confirmed by the detection of the neutrinos emitted during the supernova explosion, predicts the formation of a compact object,…

Dynamical Analysis of the Structure of Neutron Star Critical Collapses

M. -B. Wan, K. -J. Jin, W. -M. Suen

Jin et al reported that axisymmetric simulations of NS-like objects with polytropic EOS undergo critical gravitational collapse. As the critical collapse observed via fine-tuning o…

Critical Phenomena in Head-on Collisions of Neutron Stars

Ke-Jian Jin, Wai-Mo Suen

We found type I critical collapses of compact objects modeled by a polytropic equation of state (EOS) with polytropic index without the ultra-relativistic assumption. The obj…

Gravitational Waves from Phase-Transition Induced Collapse of Neutron Stars

L. -M. Lin, K. S. Cheng, M. -C. Chu +1

(Abridged) We study the gravitational radiation from gravitational collapses of rapidly rotating neutron stars induced by a phase-transition from normal nuclear matter to a mixed p…

Computational Relativistic Astrophysics With Adaptive Mesh Refinement: Testbeds

Edwin Evans, Sai Iyer, Erik Schnetter +4

We have carried out numerical simulations of strongly gravitating systems based on the Einstein equations coupled to the relativistic hydrodynamic equations using adaptive mesh ref…
