Mass Ejection from the Remnant of a Binary Neutron Star Merger: Viscous-Radiation Hydrodynamics Study

Sho Fujibayashi, Kenta Kiuchi, Nobuya Nishimura +2

We perform long-term general relativistic neutrino radiation hydrodynamics simulations (in axisymmetry) for a massive neutron star (MNS) surrounded by a torus, which is a canonical…

Kilonova from post-merger ejecta as an optical and near-infrared counterpart of GW170817

Masaomi Tanaka, Yousuke Utsumi, Paolo A. Mazzali +42

Recent detection of gravitational waves from a neutron star (NS) merger event GW170817 and identification of an electromagnetic counterpart provide a unique opportunity to study th…

J-GEM observations of an electromagnetic counterpart to the neutron star merger GW170817

Yousuke Utsumi, Masaomi Tanaka, Nozomu Tominaga +57

The first detected gravitational wave from a neutron star merger was GW170817. In this study, we present J-GEM follow-up observations of SSS17a, an electromagnetic counterpart of G…

Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey for An Optical Counterpart of GW170817

Nozomu Tominaga, Masaomi Tanaka, Tomoki Morokuma +31

We perform a -band survey for an optical counterpart of a binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 with Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam. Our untargeted transient search covers d…
