Electromagnetic emission from long-lived binary neutron star merger remnants II: lightcurves and spectra
Daniel M. Siegel, Riccardo Ciolfi
Recent observations indicate that in a large fraction of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers a long-lived neutron star (NS) may be formed rather than a black hole. Unambiguous electr…

Electromagnetic emission from long-lived binary neutron star merger remnants I: formulation of the problem
Daniel M. Siegel, Riccardo Ciolfi
Binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are the leading model to explain the phenomenology of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs), which are among the most luminous explosions in the universe…

Short gamma-ray bursts from binary neutron star mergers: the time-reversal scenario
Riccardo Ciolfi, Daniel M. Siegel
After decades of observations the physical mechanisms that generate short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) still remain unclear. Observational evidence provides support to the idea that SG…
