Exploring the diversity of kilonovae with 3D radiative transfer I. The polar direction
Christine E. Collins, Luke J. Shingles, Vimal Vijayan +7
We present 3D kilonova radiative transfer simulations for a series of binary neutron star merger models. The masses of the neutron stars are varied as well as the total mass of the…

Helium as an Indicator of the Neutron-Star Merger Remnant Lifetime and its Potential for Equation of State Constraints
Albert Sneppen, Oliver Just, Andreas Bauswein +9
The time until black hole formation in a binary neutron-star (NS) merger contains invaluable information about the nuclear equation of state (EoS) but has thus far been difficult t…

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…
