Secular Outflows from 3D-MHD Hypermassive Neutron Star Accretion Disk Systems
Steven Fahlman, Rodrigo Fernández, Sharon Morsink
Magnetized hypermassive neutron stars (HMNSs) have been proposed as a way for neutron star (NS) mergers to produce high electron fraction, high velocity ejecta, as required by kilo…
The Fast Flavor Instability in Hypermassive Neutron Star Disk Outflows
Rodrigo Fernández, Sherwood Richers, Nicole Mulyk +1
We examine the effect of neutrino flavor transformation by the fast flavor instability (FFI) on long-term mass ejection from accretion disks formed after neutron star mergers. Neut…
Long-term 3D-MHD Simulations of Black Hole Accretion Disks formed in Neutron Star Mergers
Steven Fahlman, Rodrigo Fernández
We examine the long-term evolution of accretion tori around black hole (BH) remnants of compact object mergers involving at least one neutron star, to better understand their contr…
Hypermassive Neutron Star Disk Outflows and Blue Kilonovae
Steven Fahlman, Rodrigo Fernández
We study mass ejection from accretion disks around newly-formed hypermassive neutron stars (HMNS). Standard kilonova model fits to GW170817 require at least a lanthanide-poor ('blu…
