Impact of moment-based, energy integrated neutrino transport on microphysics and ejecta in binary neutron star mergers
Pedro Luis Espino, David Radice, Francesco Zappa +2
We present an extensive study of the effects of neutrino transport in 3-dimensional general relativistic radiation hydrodynamics (GRHD) simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) mer…
Neutrino trapping and out-of-equilibrium effects in binary neutron star merger remnants
Pedro Luis Espino, Peter Hammond, David Radice +5
We study out-of-thermodynamic equilibrium effects in neutron star mergers with 3D general-relativistic neutrino-radiation large-eddy simulations. During merger, the cores of the ne…
Revealing Phase Transition in Dense Matter with Gravitational Wave Spectroscopy of Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Pedro Luis Espino, Aviral Prakash, David Radice +1
We use numerical relativity simulations of binary neutron star mergers to show that high density deconfinement phase transitions (PTs) to quark matter can be probed using multimoda…
Quantifying uncertainties in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic codes
Pedro Luis Espino, Gabriele Bozzola, Vasileios Paschalidis
In this paper, we show that similar open-source codes for general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) produce different results for key features of binary neutron star mergers…
Finite-temperature effects in dynamical-spacetime binary neutron star merger simulations: Validation of the parametric approach
Carolyn A. Raithel, Pedro Espino, Vasileios Paschalidis
Parametric equations of state (EoSs) provide an important tool for systematically studying EoS effects in neutron star merger simulations. In this work, we perform a numerical vali…
The fate of twin stars on the unstable branch: implications for the formation of twin stars
Pedro Espino, Vasileios Paschalidis
Hybrid hadron-quark equations of state that give rise a third family of stable compact stars have been shown to be compatible with the LIGO-Virgo event GW170817. Stable configurati…
On the dynamical stability of quasi-toroidal differentially rotating neutron stars
Pedro L. Espino, Vasileios Paschalidis, Thomas W. Baumgarte +1
We investigate the dynamical stability of relativistic, differentially rotating, quasi-toroidal models of neutron stars through hydrodynamical simulations in full general relativit…
Maximum mass and universal relations of rotating relativistic hybrid hadron-quark stars
Gabriele Bozzola, Pedro Luis Espino, Collin Davis Lewin +1
We construct equilibrium models of uniformly and differentially rotating hybrid hadron-quark stars using equations of state (EOSs) with a first-order phase transition that gives ri…
Revisiting the maximum mass of differentially rotating neutron stars in general relativity: Übermassive stars with realistic equations of state
Pedro Espino, Vasileios Paschalidis
We study the solution space of general relativistic, axisymmetric, equilibria of differentially rotating neutron stars with realistic, nuclear equations of state. We find that diff…
