Empirical relations for gravitational-wave asteroseismology of binary neutron star mergers

Stamatis Vretinaris, Nikolaos Stergioulas, Andreas Bauswein

We construct new, multivariate empirical relations for measuring neutron star radii and tidal deformabilities from the dominant gravitational wave frequency in the post-merger phas…

Identification of strontium in the merger of two neutron stars

Darach Watson, Camilla J. Hansen, Jonatan Selsing +15

Half of all the elements in the universe heavier than iron were created by rapid neutron capture. The theory for this astrophysical `-process' was worked out six decades ago and…

Formation and evaporation of strangelets during the merger of two compact stars

Niccolò Bucciantini, Alessandro Drago, Giuseppe Pagliara +2

We study the partial fragmentation of a strange quark star into strangelets during the process of merger of two strange quark stars. We discuss the fate of the fragments considerin…

Relation between gravitational mass and baryonic mass for non-rotating and rapidly rotating neutron stars

He Gao, Shun-Ke Ai, Zhou-Jian Cao +5

With a selected sample of neutron star (NS) equation-of-states (EOSs) that are consistent with the current observations and have a range of maximum masses, we investigate the relat…

Equation-of-state Constraints and the QCD Phase Transition in the Era of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy

Andreas Bauswein, Niels-Uwe Friedrich Bastian, David Blaschke +7

We describe a multi-messenger interpretation of GW170817, which yields a robust lower limit on NS radii. This excludes NSs with radii smaller than about 10.7 km and thus rules out…

Catching Element Formation In The Act

Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216

Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…
