What is the origin of the oxygen we breathe, the hydrogen and oxygen (in form of water
H2O) in rivers and oceans, the carbon in all organic compounds, the silicon in electronic …

In recent years our understanding of neutron stars has advanced remarkably, thanks to
research converging from many directions. The importance of understanding neutron star …

Recent numerical simulations in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD)
provide useful constraints for the interpretation of the GW170817 discovery. Combining the …

In a single process, the merger of binary neutron star systems combines extreme gravity, the
copious emission of gravitational waves, complex microphysics and electromagnetic …

We investigate the long-term evolution of black hole accretion discs formed in neutron star
mergers. These discs expel matter that contributes to an r-process kilonova, and can …

We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the dynamical ejecta, winds, and
nucleosynthesis in neutron star (NS) merger remnants. Binaries with the chirp mass …

Mergers of binary neutron stars and black hole–neutron star binaries are among the most
promising sources for ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors and are also high …

With the first observation of a binary neutron star merger through gravitational waves and
light, GW170817, compact binary mergers have now taken the center stage in nuclear …

Gravitational wave observations of GW170817 placed bounds on the tidal deformabilities of
compact stars, allowing one to probe equations of state for matter at supranuclear densities …

We report our observation of the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 170817A, associated to
the binary neutron star merger gravitational wave (GW) event GW 170817, performed in the …
