Collision of 1.4 Neutron Stars: Dynamical or Quasi-Equilibrium?
Mark Miller, Wai-Mo Suen, Malcolm Tobias
Shapiro put forth a conjecture stating that neutron stars in head-on collisions (infalling from infinity) will not collapse to black holes before neutrino cooling, independent of t…
The Shapiro Conjecture: Prompt or Delayed Collapse in the head-on collision of neutron stars?
Mark Miller, Wai-Mo Suen, Malcolm Tobias
We study the question of prompt vs. delayed collapse in the head-on collision of two neutron stars. We show that the prompt formation of a black hole is possible, contrary to a con…
Gravitational Collapse of Gravitational Waves in 3D Numerical Relativity
Miguel Alcubierre, Gabrielle Allen, Bernd Bruegmann +4
We demonstrate that evolutions of three-dimensional, strongly non-linear gravitational waves can be followed in numerical relativity, hence allowing many interesting studies of bot…
