The effects of r-process heating on fall-back accretion in compact object mergers
B. D. Metzger, A. Arcones, E. Quataert +1
We explore the effects of r-process nucleosynthesis on fall-back accretion in neutron star(NS)-NS and black hole-NS mergers, and the resulting implications for short-duration gamma…

Magnetized Relativistic Jets and Long-Duration GRBs from Magnetar Spindown during Core-Collapse Supernovae
N. Bucciantini, E. Quataert, B. D. Metzger +3
We use ideal axisymmetric relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations to calculate the spindown of a newly formed millisecond, B ~ 10^{15} G, magnetar and its interaction with the…
