Coalescing neutron stars -- gravitational waves from polytropic models
M. Ruffert, M. Rampp, H. -Th. Janka
The dynamics, time evolution of the mass distribution, and gravitational wave signature of coalescing neutron stars described by polytropes are compared with three simulations publ…

Non-axisymmetric wind-accretion simulations I. Velocity gradients of 3% and 20% over one accretion radius
Maximilian Ruffert
We investigate the hydrodynamics of a variant of classical Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion: a totally absorbing sphere moves at various Mach numbers (3 and 10) relative to a medium…
