Memory effect from neutron star merger counterparts
T. Brabant, M. Pillas, H. Inchauspé +3
The gravitational-wave (GW) memory effect is a prediction of general relativity, characterized by a permanent change in spacetime geometry. Although it has not yet been observed, n…
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…
