Jet Launching from Binary Neutron Star Mergers: Incorporating Neutrino Transport and Magnetic Fields
Lunan Sun, Milton Ruiz, Stuart L. Shapiro +1
We perform general relativistic, magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of merging binary neutron stars incorporating neutrino transport and magnetic fields. Our new radiative tra…
Great Impostors: Extremely Compact, Merging Binary Neutron Stars in the Mass Gap Posing as Binary Black Holes
Antonios Tsokaros, Milton Ruiz, Stuart L. Shapiro +2
Can one distinguish a binary black hole undergoing a merger from a binary neutron star if the individual compact companions have masses that fall inside the so-called mass gap of $…
Magnetic Braking and Damping of Differential Rotation in Massive Stars
Lunan Sun, Milton Ruiz, Stuart L. Shapiro
Fragmentation of highly differentially rotating massive stars that undergo collapse has been suggested as a possible channel for binary black hole formation. Such a scenario could…
Simulating the Magnetorotational Collapse of Supermassive Stars: Incorporating Gas Pressure Perturbations and Different Rotation Profiles
Lunan Sun, Milton Ruiz, Stuart L. Shapiro
Collapsing supermassive stars (SMSs) with masses have long been speculated to be the seeds that can grow and become supermassive black holes (SMBHs). We…
Magnetorotational Collapse of Supermassive Stars: Black Hole Formation, Gravitational Waves and Jets
Lunan Sun, Vasileios Paschalidis, Milton Ruiz +1
We perform MHD simulations in full GR of uniformly rotating stars that are marginally unstable to collapse. Our simulations model the direct collapse of supermassive stars (SMSs) t…
