Numerical Relativity Estimates of the Remnant Recoil Velocity in Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Sumeet Kulkarni, Surendra Padamata, Anuradha Gupta +2
We present, for the first time, recoil velocity estimates for binary neutron star mergers using data from numerical relativity simulations. We find that binary neutron star merger…
Snowmass 2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: The Dense Matter Equation of State and QCD Phase Transitions
Slavko Bogdanov, Emmanuel Fonseca, Rahul Kashyap +26
Our limited understanding of the physical properties of matter at ultra-high density, high proton/neutron number asymmetry, and low temperature is presently one of the major outsta…
Probing the incompressibility of nuclear matter at ultra-high density through the prompt collapse of asymmetric neutron star binaries
A. Perego, D. Logoteta, D. Radice +5
Using 250 neutron star merger simulations with microphysics, we explore for the first time the role of nuclear incompressibility in the prompt collapse threshold for binaries with…
Radiation hydrodynamics modeling of kilonovae with SNEC
Zhenyu Wu, Giacomo Ricigliano, Rahul Kashyap +2
We develop a method to compute synthetic kilonova light curves that combines numerical relativity simulations of neutron star mergers and the radiation-hydrodynamic…
Numerical relativity simulations of prompt collapse mergers: threshold mass and phenomenological constraints on neutron star properties after GW170817
Rahul Kashyap, Abhishek Das, David Radice +10
We determine the threshold mass for prompt (no bounce) black hole formation in equal-mass neutron star (NS) mergers using a new set of 227 numerical relativity simulations. We cons…
Signatures of deconfined quark phases in binary neutron star mergers
Aviral Prakash, David Radice, Domenico Logoteta +6
(abridged) We investigate the quark deconfinement phase transition in the context of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. We employ a new finite-temperature composition-dependent equ…
Light Curves and Spectra from a Thermonuclear Explosion of a White Dwarf Merger
Daniel R. van Rossum, Rahul Kashyap, Robert Fisher +5
Double-degenerate (DD) mergers of carbon-oxygen white dwarfs have recently emerged as a leading candidate for normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). However, many outstanding question…
