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…
Lessons from the Onset of a Common Envelope Episode: the Remarkable M31 2015 Luminous Red Nova Outburst
Morgan MacLeod, Phillip Macias, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +3
This paper investigates the recent stellar merger transient M31LRN 2015 in the Andromeda galaxy. We analyze published optical photometry and spectroscopy along with a Hubble Space…
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…
