On r-process nucleosynthesis from matter ejected in binary neutron starmergers
Luke Bovard, Dirk Martin, Federico Guercilena +3
When binary systems of neutron stars merge, a very small fraction of their rest mass is ejected, either dynamically or secularly. This material is neutron-rich and its nucleosynthe…
Charged Randall-Sundrum black holes in Higher Dimensions
Michael Meiers, Luke Bovard, Robert Mann
We extend some solutions for black holes in the Randall-Sundrum theory with a single brane. We consider a generalised version of the extremal black hole on the brane in n + 1 dimen…
On the importance of viscous dissipation and heat conduction in binary neutron-star mergers
Mark G. Alford, Luke Bovard, Matthias Hanauske +2
Inferring the properties of dense matter is one of the most exciting prospects from the measurement of gravitational waves from neutron star mergers. However, it will require relia…
On the use of tracer particles in simulations of binary neutron stars
Luke Bovard, Luciano Rezzolla
In grid-based codes that provide the combined solution of the Einstein equations and of relativistic hydrodynamics, the history of the fluid is not simple to track, especially when…
