Effects of High Density Phase Transitions on Neutron Star Dynamics
Steven L. Liebling, Carlos Palenzuela, Luis Lehner
Various theoretical arguments motivate an expectation of a phase transition in matter at extreme densities above nuclear density, accompanied by hopes that gravitational wave obser…
Towards fidelity and scalability in non-vacuum mergers
S. L. Liebling, C. Palenzuela, L. Lehner
We study the evolution of two fiducial configurations for binary neutron stars using two different general relativistic hydrodynamics(GRHD), distributed adaptive mesh codes. One co…
Critical collapse of a scalar field in semiclassical loop quantum gravity
Florencia Benitez, Rodolfo Gambini, Luis Lehner +2
We study the collapse in spherical symmetry of a massless scalar field minimally coupled to gravity using the semiclassical equations that are expected from loop quantum gravity. W…
