Spontaneous scalarization
Scalarization is a mechanism that endows strongly self-gravitating bodies, such as neutron
stars and black holes, with a scalar-field configuration. It resembles a phase transition in that …

Numerical relativity of compact binaries in the 21st century
MD Duez, Y Zlochower - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the dramatic progress in the simulations of compact objects and compact-object
binaries that has taken place in the first two decades of the twenty-first century. This includes …

Using gravitational-wave observations and quasi-universal relations to constrain the maximum mass of neutron stars
Combining the GW observations of merging systems of binary neutron stars and quasi-
universal relations, we set constraints on the maximum mass that can be attained by …

New constraints on radii and tidal deformabilities of neutron stars from GW170817
We explore in a parameterized manner a very large range of physically plausible equations
of state (EOSs) for compact stars for matter that is either purely hadronic or that exhibits a …

Multimessenger constraints for ultradense matter
Recent rapid progress in neutron-star (NS) observations offers great potential to constrain
the properties of strongly interacting matter under the most extreme conditions. In order to …

A lower bound on the maximum mass if the secondary in GW190814 was once a rapidly spinning neutron star
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 the primary was most likely a black hole, the …

Flares, jets, and quasiperiodic outbursts from neutron star merger remnants
ER Most, E Quataert - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Using numerical relativity simulations with a subgrid dynamo prescription to generate strong
initial magnetic fields, we investigate the possibility of launching a jet-like outflow from the …
