Self-consistent treatment of thermal effects in neutron-star post-mergers: observational implications for third-generation gravitational-wave detectors

Verónica Villa-Ortega, Ana Lorenzo-Medina, Juan Calderón Bustillo +4

We assess the impact of accurate, self-consistent modelling of thermal effects in neutron-star merger remnants in the context of third-generation gravitational-wave detectors. This…
