Constraints on the Engines of Fast Radio Bursts
Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger, Lorenzo Sironi
We model the sample of fast radio bursts (FRB), including the newly discovered CHIME repeaters, using the synchrotron blast wave model of Metzger, Margalit & Sironi (2019). This mo…
Stringent constraints on neutron-star radii from multimessenger observations and nuclear theory
Collin D. Capano, Ingo Tews, Stephanie M. Brown +6
The properties of neutron stars are determined by the nature of the matter that they contain. These properties can be constrained by measurements of the star's size. We obtain stri…
Fast Radio Bursts from Magnetars Born in Binary Neutron Star Mergers and Accretion Induced Collapse
Ben Margalit, Edo Berger, Brian D. Metzger
Recently born magnetars are promising candidates for the engines powering fast radio bursts (FRBs). The focus thus far has been placed on millisecond magnetars born in rare core-co…
Nuclear Dominated Accretion Flows in Two Dimensions. II. Ejecta dynamics and nucleosynthesis for CO and ONe white dwarfs
Rodrigo Fernández, Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger
We study mass ejection from accretion disks formed in the merger of a white dwarf with a neutron star or black hole. These disks are mostly radiatively-inefficient and support nucl…
Astro 2020 Science White Paper: Joint Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Astronomy with LIGO and LSST in the 2020's
Philip S. Cowperthwaite, Hsin-Yu Chen, Ben Margalit +4
The blossoming field of joint gravitational wave and electromagnetic (GW-EM) astronomy is one of the most promising in astronomy. The first, and only, joint GW-EM event GW170817 pr…
The Multi-Messenger Matrix: the Future of Neutron Star Merger Constraints on the Nuclear Equation of State
Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger
The electromagnetic (EM) signal of a binary neutron star (BNS) merger depends sensitively on the total binary mass, , relative to various threshold masses set by the n…
