Hydrodynamics of Coalescing Binary Neutron Stars: Ellipsoidal Treatment
Dong Lai, Stu Shapiro
We employ an approximate treatment of dissipative hydrodynamics in three dimensions to study the coalescence of binary neutron stars driven by the emission of gravitational waves.…
Hydrodynamics of Binary Coalescence. II. Polytropes with Gamma=5/3
F. A. Rasio, S. L. Shapiro
We present a new numerical study of the equilibrium and stability properties of close binary systems using the smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. We adopt a simple po…
Hydrodynamics of Binary Coalescence.I. Polytropes with Stiff Equations of State
F. A. Rasio, S. L. Shapiro
We have performed a series of three-dimensional hydrodynamic calculations of binary coalescence using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The initial conditions are e…
Equilibrium, Stability and Orbital Evolution of Close Binary Systems
D. Lai, F. A. Rasio, S. L. Shapiro
We present a new analytic study of the equilibrium and stability properties of close binary systems containing polytropic components. Our method is based on the use of ellipsoidal…
Hydrodynamic Instability and Coalescence of Binary Neutron Stars
D. Lai, F. A. Rasio, S. L. Shapiro
We study the importance of hydrodynamic effects on the evolution of coalescing binary neutron stars. Using an approximate energy functional constructed from equilibrium solutions f…
