SPH methods in the modelling of compact objects

Stephan Rosswog

We review the current status of compact object simulations that are based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The first section of this review is dedicated to SPH…

Tidal phenomena in the Galactic Center: The curious case of X7

Wasif Shaqil, Diego Calderón, Stephan Rosswog +5

Several enigmatic dusty sources have been detected in the central parsec of the Galactic Center. Among them is X7, located at only 0.02 pc from the central super-massive blac…

The formation and stability of a cold disc made out of stellar winds in the Galactic Centre

Diego Calderón, Jorge Cuadra, Christopher M. P. Russell +3

The reported discovery of a cold (~10 K) disc-like structure within 0.005 pc around the super-massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, Sgr A*, has challenged our unde…

Do gravitational wave observations in the lower mass gap favor a hierarchical triple origin?

V. Gayathri, I. Bartos, S. Rosswog +4

Observations of compact objects in Galactic binaries have provided tentative evidence of a dearth of masses in the so-called lower mass gap M. Nevertheless, two…

The Lagrangian Numerical Relativity code SPHINCS_BSSN_v1.0

Stephan Rosswog, Francesco Torsello, Peter Diener

We present version 1.0 of our Lagrangian Numerical Relativity code SPHINCS_BSSN. This code evolves the full set of Einstein equations, but contrary to other Numerical Relativity co…

Impact of jets on kilonova photometric and polarimetric emission from binary neutron star mergers

Manisha Shrestha, Mattia Bulla, Lorenzo Nativi +3

A merger of binary neutron stars creates heavy unstable elements whose radioactive decay produces a thermal emission known as a kilonova. In this paper, we predict the photometric…
