Numerical Models of Newtonian and Post-Newtonian Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Edward Y. M. Wang, F. Douglas Swesty, Alan C. Calder
This article describes a comparison of two calculations of the merger of a binary neutron star (NS) system which is initially within the tidal instability as described by Rasio and…

Gray Models of convection in core collapse supernovae
F. Douglas Swesty
One of the major difficulties encountered in modeling core collapse supernovae is obtaining an accurate description of the transport of neutrinos through the collapsed stellar core…

Newtonian and post-Newtonian binary neutron star mergers
Hisa-aki Shinkai, Wai-Mo Suen, F. Douglas Swesty +3
We present two of our efforts directed toward the numerical analysis of neutron star mergers, which are the most plausible sources for gravitational wave detectors that should begi…
