Modelling the delayed shock-breakout emission following jet-launching binary neutron star mergers via relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations simulations

Matteo Pais, Riccardo Ciolfi, Andrea Pavan

In binary neutron star (BNS) mergers launching a relativistic jet, an electromagnetic (EM) signal is produced when the jet-driven shock breaks out of the merger ejecta. The observe…
