Interacting stellar winds feeding Sgr A*: from the system of mass-losing stars to the binary IRS 16SW
Diego Calderón, Jorge Cuadra, Christopher M. P. Russell +3
The discovery of cold structures around Sgr A* has challenged our understanding of the gas dynamics and thermodynamic state of the plasma in its vicinity. This work aims to constra…
General relativistic hydrodynamics of stellar tidal disruptions in Kerr spacetime: methods, validation, and first applications
Diego Calderón, Stephan Rosswog
The disruption of a star by the tidal field of a super-massive black hole may provide insights into dormant and otherwise hard-to-study galactic nuclei. State-of-the-art numerical…
Rapid and robust simulation-based inference for kilonovae
Stephanie M. Brown, Mattia Bulla, Hiranya V. Peiris +6
With the next generation of both electromagnetic and gravitational wave observatories beginning to come online, rapid analysis methods for kilonova data are becoming increasingly i…
Quantifying the impact of relativistic precession on tidal disruption event light curves
Diego Calderón, Ondřej Pejcha, Brian D. Metzger +2
The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impa…
Robustness of Magnetic Field Amplification in Neutron Star Mergers
Ricard Aguilera-Miret, Jan-Erik Christian, Stephan Rosswog +1
The dynamics of a binary neutron stars merger is governed by physics under the most extreme conditions, including strong spacetime curvature, ultra-high matter densities, luminous…
Prompt Periodicity in the GRB 211211A Precursor: Black-hole or magnetar engine?
Gavin P. Lamb, Thomas Baxter, Conor M. B. Omand +18
The merger origin long GRB 211211A was a class (re-)defining event. A precursor was identified with a s separation from the main burst, as well as a claimed candidate quas…
Fast dynamic ejecta in neutron star mergers
S. Rosswog, N. Sarin, E. Nakar +1
The ejection of neutron-rich matter is one of the most important consequences of a neutron star merger. While the bulk of the matter is ejected at fast, but non-relativistic veloci…
Delayed jet launching in binary neutron star mergers with realistic initial magnetic fields
Ricard Aguilera-Miret, Carlos Palenzuela, Federico Carrasco +2
We analyze a long-lived hyper-massive neutron star merger remnant (post-merger lifetime ms) that has been obtained via large eddy simulations with a gradient subgrid-scale m…
The environment of the binary neutron star merger GW170817
A. J. Levan, J. D. Lyman, N. R. Tanvir +37
We present Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra imaging, combined with Very Large Telescope MUSE integral field spectroscopy of the counterpart and host galaxy of the first binary ne…
Illuminating Gravitational Waves: A Concordant Picture of Photons from a Neutron Star Merger
M. M. Kasliwal, E. Nakar, L. P. Singer +78
Merging neutron stars offer an exquisite laboratory for simultaneously studying strong-field gravity and matter in extreme environments. We establish the physical association of an…
The structure and fate of white dwarf merger remnants
M. Dan, S. Rosswog, M. Brueggen +1
We present a large parameter study where we investigate the structure of white dwarf (WD) merger remnants after the dynamical phase. A wide range of WD masses and compositions are…
Compact binary mergers: an astrophysical perspective
S. Rosswog
This paper reviews the current understanding of double neutron star and neutron star black hole binaries. It addresses mainly (nuclear) astrophysics aspects of compact binary merge…
From Neutron Star Binaries to Gamma-ray bursts
S. Rosswog
I summarize recent results about how a neutron star binary coalescence can produce short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Two possibilities are discussed: the annihilation of neutrino anti…
