A lower bound on the maximum mass if the secondary in GW190814 was once a rapidly spinning neutron star

Elias R. Most, L. Jens Papenfort, Lukas R. Weih +1

The recent detection of GW190814 featured the merger of a binary with a primary having a mass of and a secondary with a mass of . While th…

The heavier the better: how to constrain mass ratios and spins of high-mass neutron-star mergers

Elias R. Most, Lukas R. Weih, Luciano Rezzolla

The first binary neutron-star merger event, GW170817, and its bright electromagnetic counterpart have provided a remarkable amount of information. By contrast, the second event, GW…

Electromagnetic precursors to gravitational wave events: Numerical simulations of flaring in pre-merger binary neutron star magnetospheres

Elias R. Most, Alexander A. Philippov

The detection of gravitational waves from neutron star merger events has opened up a new field of multi-messenger astronomy linking gravitational waves events to short-gamma ray bu…

On the Deconfinement Phase Transition in Neutron-Star Mergers

Elias R. Most, L. Jens Papenfort, Veronica Dexheimer +3

We study in detail the nuclear aspects of a neutron-star merger in which deconfinement to quark matter takes place. For this purpose, we make use of the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) mod…

General relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics with robust primitive variable recovery for accretion disk simulations

Bart Ripperda, Fabio Bacchini, Oliver Porth +6

Recent advances in black hole astrophysics, particularly the first visual evidence of a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87 by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)…

Beyond second-order convergence in simulations of magnetised binary neutron stars with realistic microphysics

Elias R. Most, L. Jens Papenfort, Luciano Rezzolla

We investigate the impact of using high-order numerical methods to study the merger of magnetised neutron stars with finite-temperature microphysics and neutrino cooling in full ge…
