Resolving the fastest ejecta from binary Neutron Star mergers: implications for electromagnetic counterparts
Coleman Dean, Rodrigo Fernández, Brian D. Metzger
We examine the effect of spatial resolution on initial mass ejection in grid-based hydrodynamic simulations of binary neutron star mergers. The subset of the dynamical ejecta with…
The impact of r-process heating on the dynamics of neutron star merger accretion disc winds and their electromagnetic radiation
Hannah Klion, Alexander Tchekhovskoy, Daniel Kasen +3
Neutron star merger accretion discs can launch neutron-rich winds of . This ejecta is a prime site for r-process nucleosynthesis, which will produce a r…
From Neutrino- to Photon-Cooled in Three Years: Can Fallback Accretion Explain the X-ray Excess in GW170817?
Brian D. Metzger, Rodrigo Fernandez
An excess in the X-ray emission from the neutron star merger GW170817 above the predicted afterglow was recently detected t~3.4 years post-merger. One possible origin for the exces…
The Challenges Ahead for Multimessenger Analyses of Gravitational Waves and Kilonova: a Case Study on GW190425
Geert Raaijmakers, Samaya Nissanke, Francois Foucart +12
In recent years, there have been significant advances in multi-messenger astronomy due to the discovery of the first, and so far only confirmed, gravitational wave event with a sim…
Mass ejection in failed supernovae: equation of state and neutrino loss dependence
Mario Ivanov, Rodrigo Fernández
A failed core-collapse supernova from a non-rotating progenitor can eject mass due to a weakening of gravity associated to neutrino emission by the protoneutron star. This mechanis…
Reconstructing Masses of Merging Neutron Stars from Stellar -Process Abundance Signatures
Erika M. Holmbeck, Anna Frebel, G. C. McLaughlin +5
Neutron star mergers (NSMs) are promising astrophysical sites for the rapid neutron-capture ("-") process, but can their integrated yields explain the majority of heavy-element…
