Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Joshua A. Faber, Frederic A. Rasio
We review the current status of studies of the coalescence of binary neutron star systems. We begin with a discussion of the formation channels of merging binaries and we discuss t…
Mergers of Irrotational Neutron Star Binaries in Conformally Flat Gravity
Joshua A. Faber, Philippe Grandclément, Frederic A. Rasio
We present the first results from our new general relativistic, Lagrangian hydrodynamics code, which treats gravity in the conformally flat (CF) limit. The evolution of fluid confi…
Post-Newtonian SPH calculations of binary neutron star coalescence. III. Irrotational systems and gravitational wave spectra
Joshua A. Faber, Frederic A. Rasio
Using our new post-Newtonian (PN) smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code, we have studied numerically the mergers of neutron star binaries with irrotational initial configurati…
Ruling Out Chaos in Compact Binary Systems
Jeremy D. Schnittman, Frederic A. Rasio
We investigate the orbits of compact binary systems during the final inspiral period before coalescence by integrating numerically the second-order post-Newtonian equations of moti…
Hydrodynamics of Neutron Star Mergers
Joshua A. Faber, Frederic A. Rasio
The final burst of gravitational radiation emitted by coalescing binary neutron stars carries direct information about the neutron star fluid, and, in particular, about the equatio…
LISA Sources in Globular Clusters
M J Benacquista, S Portegies Zwart, F A Rasio
Globular clusters house a population of compact binaries that will be interesting gravitational wave sources for LISA. We provide estimates for the numbers of sources of several ca…
