General relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of binary strange star mergers

Francesco Grippa, Aviral Prakash, Domenico Logoteta +2

We perform fully general-relativistic simulations of binary strange star mergers considering two different approaches for thermal effects. The first uses a cold equation of state (…
