FRIB and the GW170817 Kilonova
A. Aprahamian, R. Surman, A. Frebel +45
In July 2018 an FRIB Theory Alliance program was held on the implications of GW170817 and its associated kilonova for r-process nucleosynthesis. Topics of discussion included the a…
Viscous-Dynamical Ejecta from Binary Neutron Star Merger
David Radice, Albino Perego, Kenta Hotokezaka +3
General-relativistic simulations of binary neutron star mergers with viscosity reveal a new outflow mechanism operating in unequal mass binaries on dynamical timescales and enabled…
Binary Neutron Star Mergers: Mass Ejection, Electromagnetic Counterparts and Nucleosynthesis
David Radice, Albino Perego, Kenta Hotokezaka +3
We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the mass ejection and the associated electromagnetic transients and nucleosynthesis from binary neutron star (NS) mergers. We…
Compact radio emission indicates a structured jet was produced by a binary neutron star merger
G. Ghirlanda, O. S. Salafia, Z. Paragi +33
The binary neutron star merger event GW170817 was detected through both electromagnetic radiation and gravitational waves. Its afterglow emission may have been produced by either a…
Unveiling the enigma of ATLAS17aeu
A. Melandri, A. Rossi, S. Benetti +42
Aim. The unusual transient ATLAS17aeu was serendipitously detected within the sky localisation of the gravitational wave trigger GW170104. The importance of a possible association…
CoRe database of binary neutron star merger waveforms and its application in waveform development
Tim Dietrich, David Radice, Sebastiano Bernuzzi +7
We present the Computational Relativity CoRe collaboration's public database of gravitational waveforms from binary neutron star mergers. The database currently contains 367 wavefo…
The Impact of Different Neutrino Transport Methods on Multidimensional Core-collapse Supernova Simulations
Kuo-Chuan Pan, Carlos Mattes, Evan P. O'Connor +3
Neutrinos play a crucial role in the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) explosion mechanism. The requirement of accurately calculating the transport of neutrinos makes simulations of t…
Core-collapse supernovae in the hall of mirrors. A three-dimensional code-comparison project
Rubén M. Cabezón, Kuo-Chuan Pan, Matthias Liebendörfer +5
Modeling core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) with neutrino transport in three dimensions (3D) requires tremendous computing resources and some level of approximation. We present a fir…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
PUSHing Core-Collapse Supernovae to Explosions in Spherical Symmetry III: Nucleosynthesis Yields
Sanjana Curtis, Kevin Ebinger, Carla Fröhlich +4
In a previously presented proof-of-principle study, we established a parametrized spherically symmetric explosion method (PUSH) that can reproduce many features of core-collapse su…
PUSHing Core-Collapse Supernovae to Explosions in Spherical Symmetry II: Explodability and Global Properties
Kevin Ebinger, Sanjana Curtis, Carla Fröhlich +4
In a previously presented proof-of-principle study we established a parametrized spherically symmetric explosion method (PUSH) that can reproduce many features of core-collapse sup…
Long-lived Remnants from Binary Neutron Star Mergers
David Radice, Albino Perego, Sebastiano Bernuzzi +1
Massive neutron star (NS) with lifetimes of at least several seconds are expected to be the result of a sizable fraction of NS mergers. We study their formation using a large set o…
-process nucleosynthesis in the early Universe through fast mergers of compact binaries in triple systems
Matteo Bonetti, Albino Perego, Pedro R. Capelo +2
Surface abundance observations of halo stars hint at the occurrence of -process nucleosynthesis at low metallicity (), possibly within the first yr after…
