The nuclear symmetry energy characterizes the variation of the binding energy as the
neutron to proton ratio of a nuclear system is varied. This is one of the most important …

The mergers of binaries containing neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes are among
the most promising sources for direct detection in gravitational waves by the interferometers …

Constraints set on key parameters of the nuclear matter equation of state (EoS) by the
values of the tidal deformability, inferred from GW170817, are examined by using a diverse …

Mergers of binary neutron stars (NSs) are among the most promising gravitational wave
(GW) sources. Next generation GW detectors are expected to detect signals from NS …

Numerical-relativity simulations for the merger of binary neutron stars are performed for a
variety of equations of state (EOSs) and for a plausible range of the neutron-star mass …

The most promising astrophysical sources of kHz gravitational waves (GWs) are the inspiral
and merger of binary neutron star (NS)/black hole systems. Maximizing the scientific return …

Abstract We describe the Einstein Toolkit, a community-driven, freely accessible
computational infrastructure intended for use in numerical relativity, relativistic astrophysics …

Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are among the most luminous explosions in the universe,
releasing in less than one second the energy emitted by our Galaxy over one year. Despite …

Massive (hypermassive and supramassive) neutron stars are likely to be often formed after
the merger of binary neutron stars. We explore the evolution process of the remnant massive …

This monograph originates from lectures given at the General Relativity Trimester at the
Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris [1]; at the VII Mexican School on Gravitation and …
