An efficient approach to resistive GRMHD simulations of binary neutron star mergers

Miquel Miravet-Tenés, Ian Hawke, Rahime Matur +1

Astrophysical plasmas are often highly conducting, but finite resistivity can nevertheless influence the evolution of strongly magnetised systems. Capturing these effects in genera…

The imprint of individual neutron star spins on ejecta, -process nucleosynthesis, and kilonovae in binary neutron star mergers

Beyhan Karakas, Rahime Matur, David Radice +2

To leading order, the gravitational-wave (GW) signal from binary neutron stars depends on the individual spins, and , only through the effective spin parameter $χ_{\rm e…

A Reproducible Black Hole-Neutron Star Merger Gallery Example for the Einstein Toolkit

Rahime Matur, Beyhan Karakaş, Roland Haas +3

Black hole-neutron star mergers are important sources of gravitational waves and potential electromagnetic counterparts, but publicly available numerical relativity configurations…

Impact of black hole spin on low-mass black hole-neutron star mergers

Rahime Matur, Ian Hawke, Nils Andersson

The recent detection of GW230529 suggests that black hole-neutron star mergers may involve low-mass black holes, potentially producing detectable electromagnetic counterparts. Moti…

Problematic systematics in neutron-star merger simulations

F. Gittins, R. Matur, N. Andersson +1

Next-generation gravitational-wave instruments are expected to constrain the equation of state of dense nuclear matter by observing binaries involving neutron stars. We highlight a…

Signatures of Low Mass Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers

Rahime Matur, Ian Hawke, Nils Andersson

The recent observation of the GW230529 event indicates that black hole-neutron star binaries can contain low-mass black holes. Since lower mass systems are more favourable for tida…
