Magnetic field dynamics in isolated neutron stars with an external dipole field
Aurora Capobianco, William Cook, Sebastiano Bernuzzi +2
Neutron stars can harbor extremely strong magnetic fields, yet the structure and stability of their magnetic field configuration remain poorly understood. Observations of pulsars i…
Subgrid Modelling for Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamics with Machine Learning
William Cook, Sebastiano Bernuzzi
Resolving the impact of magnetic field instabilities in triggering small scale turbulent flow and the associated rearrangement of the field is of critical importance in understandi…
Turbulence in Magnetised Neutron Stars
William Cook, Raj Kishor Joshi, Sebastiano Bernuzzi +2
The magnetic field configuration in the interior of neutron stars and its stability are open problems and may be impacted by the influence of a turbulent cascade within the star. A…
GR-Athena++: Binary Neutron Star Merger Simulations with Neutrino Transport
Boris Daszuta, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Maximilian Jacobi +4
We present general-relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers performed with GR-Athena++. Neutrino transport is treated using a moment-b…
Magnetic Field Configurations in Binary Neutron Star Mergers I: Post-merger Remnant and Disk
Eduardo M. Gutiérrez, William Cook, David Radice +6
We present a suite of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers performed with the code GR-Athena++. We investigate how a di…
Magnetic Field Configurations in Binary Neutron Star Mergers II: Inspiral, Merger and Ejecta
William Cook, Eduardo M. Gutiérrez, Sebastiano Bernuzzi +6
We perform a series of simulations of magnetised Binary Neutron Star mergers, with varying magnetic field topologies in the initial data, as well as varying Equations of State, and…
