Neutrino transport and flavor instabilities in a post-merger disk
Erick Urquilla, Swapnil Shankar, Debraj Kundu +6
Neutron star mergers are multimessenger sources whose dynamics and signals depend critically on neutrinos and their flavor transformations. We investigate whether fast and collisio…
Binary neutron star mergers with tabulated equations of state in SPHINCS_BSSN
Swapnil Shankar, Stephan Rosswog, Peter Diener
The dynamics and observable signatures of neutron star mergers are governed by physics under the most extreme conditions. They are particularly impacted by the high-density equatio…
A resistive MHD module in the GPU-accelerated GRMHD code GRaM-X
Sara Azizi, Swapnil Shankar, Philipp Mösta +2
Relativistic macroscopic plasma dynamics can be described by general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics. In many high-energy astrophysical settings, such as the interior dynamics of…
Gravitational waves from magnetorotational core-collapse supernovae using 3D GRMHD simulations: effect of rotation and magnetic fields
Sophia C. Schnauck, Swapnil Shankar, Philipp Mösta +2
We investigate the gravitational wave emission for 10 supernova progenitors from magnetorotational core-collapse to the supernova explosion using fully three-dimensional dynamical-…
A Black Hole is Born: 3D GRMHD Simulation of Black Hole Formation from Core-Collapse
Goni Halevi, Swapnil Shankar, Philipp Mösta +2
We present the first three-dimensional, fully general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (3D GRMHD) simulation of a black hole (BH) formed from the collapsed core of a massive star.…
3D full-GR simulations of magnetorotational core-collapse supernovae on GPUs: A systematic study of rotation rates and magnetic fields
Swapnil Shankar, Philipp Mösta, Roland Haas +1
We present a series of fully three-dimensional, dynamical-spacetime general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulations of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) for a progenit…
