Accurate muonic interactions in neutron star mergers and impact on heavy-element nucleosynthesis

Harry Ho-Yin Ng, Carlo Musolino, Samuel D. Tootle +1

The abundances resulting from -process nucleosynthesis as predicted by simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers remain an open question as the current state of the art i…

Exploring the Phase Diagram of V-QCD with Neutron Star Merger Simulations

Tuna Demircik, Christian Ecker, Matti Järvinen +3

Determining the phase structure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and its Equation of State (EOS) at densities and temperatures realized inside neutron stars and their mergers is a l…

Crustal magnetic fields do not lead to large magnetic-field amplifications in binary neutron-star mergers

Michail Chabanov, Samuel D. Tootle, Elias R. Most +1

The amplification of magnetic fields plays an important role in explaining numerous astrophysical phenomena associated with binary neutron-star mergers, such as mass ejection and t…

Impact of extreme spins and mass ratios on the post-merger observables of high-mass binary neutron stars

L. Jens Papenfort, Elias R. Most, Samuel Tootle +1

The gravitational-wave events GW170817 and GW190425 have led to a number of important insights on the equation of state of dense matter and the properties of neutron stars, such as…

Fast ejecta as a potential way to distinguish black holes from neutron stars in high-mass gravitational-wave events

Elias R. Most, L. Jens Papenfort, Samuel Tootle +1

High-mass gravitational-wave events in the neutron-star mass range, such as GW190425, have recently started to be detected by the LIGO/Virgo detectors. If the masses of the two bin…
