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…
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…
A Reproducible Black Hole-Neutron Star Merger Gallery Example for the Einstein Toolkit
Rahime Matur, Beyhan KarakaÅ, Roland Haas +3
Black hole-neutron star mergers, together with binary neutron star mergers, are key laboratories for neutron star physics. They enable us to probe merger dynamics imprinted in grav…
Effect of spin in binary neutron star mergers
Beyhan Karakas, Rahime Matur, Maximilian Ruffert
We investigate the effect of spin on equal and unequal mass binary neutron star mergers using finite-temperature, composition-dependent Steiner-Fischer-Hempel equation of state wit…
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…
