Impact of quark deconfinement in neutron star mergers and hybrid star mergers
Andreas Bauswein, Sebastian Blacker
We describe an unambiguous gravitational-wave signature to identify the occurrence of a strong phase transition from hadronic matter to deconfined quark matter in neutron star merg…

Constraining the onset density of the hadron-quark phase transition with gravitational-wave observations
Sebastian Blacker, Niels-Uwe F. Bastian, Andreas Bauswein +5
We study the possible occurrence of the hadron-quark phase transition (PT) during the merging of neutron star binaries by hydrodynamical simulations employing a set of temperature…

Equation of state constraints from the threshold binary mass for prompt collapse of neutron star mergers
Andreas Bauswein, Sebastian Blacker, Vimal Vijayan +7
Using hydrodynamical simulations for a large set of high-density matter equations of state (EoSs) we systematically determine the threshold mass M_thres for prompt black-hole forma…
