Simulating binary neutron stars: dynamics and gravitational waves
Matthew Anderson, Eric W. Hirschmann, Luis Lehner +5
We model two mergers of orbiting binary neutron stars, the first forming a black hole and the second a differentially rotating neutron star. We extract gravitational waveforms in t…
Further Evidence for an Elliptical Instability in Rotating Fluid Bars and Ellipsoidal Stars
Shangli Ou, Joel E. Tohline, Patrick M. Motl
Using a three-dimensional nonlinear hydrodynamic code, we examine the dynamical stability of more than twenty self-gravitating, compressible, ellipsoidal fluid configurations that…
The Stability of Double White Dwarf Binaries Undergoing Direct Impact Accretion
Patrick M. Motl, Juhan Frank, Joel E. Tohline +1
We present numerical simulations of dynamically unstable mass transfer in a double white dwarf binary with initial mass ratio, q = 0.4. The binary components are approximated as po…
