Relativistic Simulations of Eccentric Binary Neutron Star Mergers: One-arm Spiral Instability and Effects of Neutron Star Spin
William E. East, Vasileios Paschalidis, Frans Pretorius +1
We perform general-relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of dynamical capture binary neutron star mergers, emphasizing the role played by the neutron star spin. Dynamical capture…
One-arm Spiral Instability in Hypermassive Neutron Stars Formed by Dynamical-Capture Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Vasileios Paschalidis, William E. East, Frans Pretorius +1
Using general-relativistic hydrodynamical simulations, we show that merging binary neutron stars can form hypermassive neutrons stars that undergo the one-arm spiral instability. W…
Eccentric mergers of black holes with spinning neutron stars
William E. East, Vasileios Paschalidis, Frans Pretorius
We study dynamical capture binary black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) mergers focusing on the effects of the neutron star spin. These events may arise in dense stellar regions, such as…
IllinoisGRMHD: An Open-Source, User-Friendly GRMHD Code for Dynamical Spacetimes
Zachariah B. Etienne, Vasileios Paschalidis, Roland Haas +2
In the extreme violence of merger and mass accretion, compact objects like black holes and neutron stars are thought to launch some of the most luminous outbursts of electromagneti…
