Black Hole-Neutron Star Binaries near Neutron Star Disruption Limit in the Mass Regime of Event GW230529

Tia Martineau, Francois Foucart, Mark Scheel +3

In May 2023, the LIGO Livingston observatory detected the likely black hole-neutron star (BHNS) merger GW230529_181500. That event is expected to be the merger of a 2.5-4.5 $M_{\od…

Impact of neutrino-electron scattering and an improved treatment of pair processes on binary neutron star mergers

Francois Foucart, Samantha Rath, Rowan Davidson +5

Multimessenger observations of neutron star mergers are unique opportunities to constrain the properties of dense matter and the production site of heavy nuclei. To leverage these…

Assessing the Relative Importance of Neutrino Matter Interaction Channels in Post-Merger Remnant of Binary Neutron Stars

Samantha Rath, Francois Foucart, Lawrence E. Kidder +2

Neutron star mergers are amongst the most promising sources for the joint detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic signals. They are also potential sites for the produc…

Thermalization of Neutrinos in a Neutron Star Merger Simulation

Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Francois Foucart +1

We study the neutrino distributions that arise in a simulation of a neutron star merger that uses a Monte Carlo (MC) neutrino transport scheme. In a snapshot taken 1 ms after merge…

Disk mass predictions for binary neutron star mergers: limitations of proposed symbolic regression models

Francois Foucart

Modeling disk formation and mass ejection in binary neutron star systems is an important component in the construction of models for the electromagnetic signals powered by these ev…

Axisymmetric hydrodynamics in numerical relativity: treating coordinate singularity, artificial heating and modeling MHD instabilities

Pavan Chawhan, Matthew D. Duez, Francois Foucart +2

Two-dimensional axisymmetric simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) merger remnant are a cheap alternative to 3D simulations. To maintain realism for secular timescales, simulati…
