Towards inferring the geometry of kilonovae
Christine E. Collins, Luke J. Shingles, Andreas Bauswein +11
Recent analysis of the kilonova, AT2017gfo, has indicated that this event was highly spherical. This may challenge hydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers, which u…
Self-consistent 3D radiative transfer for kilonovae: directional spectra from merger simulations
Luke J. Shingles, Christine E. Collins, Vimal Vijayan +7
We present three-dimensional radiative transfer calculations for the ejecta from a neutron star merger that include line-by-line opacities for tens of millions of bound-bound trans…
Impact of pions on binary neutron star mergers
Vimal Vijayan, Ninoy Rahman, Andreas Bauswein +2
We study the impact of pions in simulations of neutron star mergers and explore the impact on gravitational-wave observables. We model charged and neutral pions as a non-interactin…
End-to-end kilonova models of neutron-star mergers with delayed black-hole formation
Oliver Just, Vimal Vijayan, Zewei Xiong +6
We investigate the nucleosynthesis and kilonova properties of binary neutron-star (NS) merger models which lead to intermediate remnant lifetimes of ~0.1-1seconds until black-hole…
