Multi-messenger and multi-band signal from first-order phase transitions in proto-neutron stars
Christian Ecker, Mauro Giliberti, Luciano Rezzolla
A first-order phase transition (PT) alters a compact star on two scales: globally, via growth of a quark-matter core, and microscopically, via collision of quark bubbles, driving a…
Black hole-neutron star binaries with high spins and large mass asymmetries: III. Properties of the ejected material and its electromagnetic signatures
Konrad Topolski, Samuel D. Tootle, Paramvir Singh +2
Compact binary systems consisting of a black hole (BH) and a neutron star (NS) are expected to provide detectable signals both in the gravitational wave and in the electromagnetic…
GRACE: An Open-Source Framework for GPU-Accelerated Numerical Relativity
Carlo Musolino, Christian Ecker, Konrad Topolski +6
We present GRACE, a new GPU-accelerated numerical-relativity framework designed to run efficiently on heterogeneous high-performance computing platforms. Developed from scratch and…
Particle-acceleration mechanisms in multispecies relativistic plasmas
Claudio Meringolo, Mario Imbrogno, Alejandro Cruz-Osorio +2
While collisionless plasmas are ubiquitously present near astrophysical compact objects, the impact that their composition has on the high-energy emission is presently unknown. We…
Dynamical response of twin stars to perturbations
Shamim Haque, Luciano Rezzolla, Ritam Mallick
If a strong first-order phase transition takes place at sufficiently high rest-mass densities in the equation of state (EOS) modelling compact stars, a new branch will appear in th…
The initial spin matters: the impact of rapid rotation on magnetic-field amplification at merger
Harry Ho-Yin Ng, Jin-Liang Jiang, Luciano Rezzolla
A couple of milliseconds after the merger of a binary system of neutron stars can play a fundamental role in amplifying the comparatively low initial magnetic fields into magnetar…
