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…
Transport and mixing of r-process elements in neutron star binary merger blast waves
Gabriela Montes, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Jill Naiman +2
The r-process nuclei are robustly synthesized in the material ejected during a neutron star binary merger (NSBM), as tidal torques transport angular momentum and energy through the…
Diversity Of Short Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows From Compact Binary Mergers Hosting Pulsars
Cole Holcomb, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Fabio De Colle +1
Short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) are widely believed to result from the mergers of compact binaries. This model predicts an afterglow that bears the characteristic signatures of a co…
Necessary Conditions for Short Gamma-Ray Burst Production in Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Ariadna Murguia-Berthier, Gabriela Montes, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +2
The central engine of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) is hidden from direct view, operating at a scale much smaller than that probed by the emitted radiation. Thus we must infer its…
Understanding the Unusual X-Ray Emission Properties of the Massive, Close Binary WR 20a: A High Energy Window into the Stellar Wind Initiation Region
Gabriela Montes, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, Fabio De Colle +1
The problem of explaining the X-ray emission properties of the massive, close binary WR 20a is discussed. Located near the cluster core of Westerlund 2, WR 20a is composed of two n…
