Impact of thermal effects on prompt-collapse binary neutron star mergers
Carolyn A. Raithel, Vasileios Paschalidis
The fate of the remnant following the merger of two neutron stars initially on quasicircular orbits depends primarily on the mass of the initial neutron stars, the mass ratio, and…
Detectability of Finite-Temperature Effects From Neutron Star Mergers with Next-Generation Gravitational Wave Detectors
