Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment
for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address …

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

Neutron stars and quark stars are ideal laboratories to study fundamental physics at supra
nuclear densities and strong gravitational fields. Astrophysical observables, however …

We present the first comprehensive study of r-process element nucleosynthesis in the ejecta
of compact binary mergers (CBMs) and their relic black hole (BH)–torus systems. The …

We investigate systematically the dynamical mass ejection, r-process nucleosynthesis, and
properties of electromagnetic counterparts of neutron-star (NS) mergers in dependence on …

In this study we explore nucleosynthesis in the dynamic ejecta of compact binary mergers.
We are particularly interested in the question how sensitive the resulting abundance …

Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative systems. Perturbations of classical
gravitational backgrounds involving black holes or branes naturally lead to quasinormal …

The most promising source of gravitational waves for the planned kilometer-size laser-
interferometer detectors LIGO and VIRGO are merging compact binaries, ie, neutron-star …

The early part of the gravitational wave signal of binary neutron-star inspirals can potentially
yield robust information on the nuclear equation of state. The influence of a star's internal …

The exterior gravitational field of a slowly rotating neutron star can be characterized by its
multipole moments, the first few being the neutron star mass, moment of inertia, and …
