GR-Athena++: Binary Neutron Star Merger Simulations with Neutrino Transport

Boris Daszuta, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Maximilian Jacobi +4

We present general-relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers performed with GR-Athena++. Neutrino transport is treated using a moment-b…

Impact of in situ nuclear networks and atomic opacities on neutron star merger ejecta dynamics, nucleosynthesis, and kilonovae

Fabio Magistrelli, Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Albino Perego +2

Modeling binary neutron star merger (BNSM) ejecta evolution requires simulations involving hydrodynamics, nuclear reactions, and radiative processes. The impact of nuclear burning…

Magnetic Field Configurations in Binary Neutron Star Mergers II: Inspiral, Merger and Ejecta

William Cook, Eduardo M. Gutiérrez, Sebastiano Bernuzzi +6

We perform a series of simulations of magnetised Binary Neutron Star mergers, with varying magnetic field topologies in the initial data, as well as varying Equations of State, and…

Magnetic Field Configurations in Binary Neutron Star Mergers I: Post-merger Remnant and Disk

Eduardo M. Gutiérrez, William Cook, David Radice +6

We present a suite of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers performed with the code GR-Athena++. We investigate how a di…

Ni production in long-lived binary neutron star merger remnants

Maximilian Jacobi, Fabio Magistrelli, Eleonora Loffredo +5

We investigate the nucleosynthesis and kilonova emission based on numerical-relativity binary neutron star merger simulations that incorporate a two-moment neutrino-transport schem…

Long-lived neutron-star remnants from asymmetric binary neutron star mergers: element formation, kilonova signals and gravitational waves

Sebastiano Bernuzzi, Fabio Magistrelli, Maximilian Jacobi +3

We present 3D general-relativistic neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations of two asymmetric binary neutron star mergers producing long-lived neutron stars remnants and spanni…
