Dynamical ejecta from precessing neutron star-black hole mergers with a hot, nuclear-theory based equation of state
Francois Foucart, Dhruv Desai, Wyatt Brege +6
Neutron star-black hole binaries are among the strongest sources of gravitational waves detectable by current observatories. They can also power bright electromagnetic signals (gam…
SpECTRE: A Task-based Discontinuous Galerkin Code for Relativistic Astrophysics
Lawrence E. Kidder, Scott E. Field, Francois Foucart +11
We introduce a new relativistic astrophysics code, SpECTRE, that combines a discontinuous Galerkin method with a task-based parallelism model. SpECTRE's goal is to achieve more acc…
Impact of an improved neutrino energy estimate on outflows in neutron star merger simulations
Francois Foucart, Evan O'Connor, Luke Roberts +3
Binary neutron star mergers are promising sources of gravitational waves for ground-based detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Neutron-rich material ejected by these mergers may also b…
