Simulating the quasi-ballistic regime of a short Gamma-Ray Burst jet
Emma Dreas, Andrea Pavan, Riccardo Ciolfi +1
This study extends the 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of a jet emerging from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger presented in Pavan et al. (2023), in which an incipient jet…
Evolution and afterglow emission of gamma-ray burst jets from binary neutron star mergers
Emma Dreas, Om Sharan Salafia, Andrea Pavan +2
Relativistic jets launched in binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are widely accepted as the engines powering most of the population of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Understanding t…
Role of injection parameters in jet propagation through realistic binary neutron star merger environments
Andrea Pavan, Riccardo Ciolfi, Emma Dreas +1
After the first multi-messenger observation of a binary neutron star (BNS) merger powering a short-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB), GW170817-GRB 170817A, remarkable effort is ongoin…
Approaching ballistic motion in 3D simulations of gamma-ray burst jets in realistic binary neutron star merger environments
Emma Dreas, Andrea Pavan, Riccardo Ciolfi +1
Context. The concomitant observation of gravitational wave and electromagnetic signals from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger in 2017 confirmed that these events can produce relat…
