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

The proposal that core collapse supernovae are neutrino driven is still the subject of active
investigation more than 50 years after the seminal paper by Colgate and White. The modern …

The mergers of binary neutron stars, as well as black hole–neutron star systems, are
expected to produce an electromagnetic counterpart that can be analyzed to infer the …

The electromagnetic transients accompanying compact binary mergers (γ-ray bursts,
afterglows and 'macronovae') are crucial to pinpoint the sky location of gravitational wave …

JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

The detailed observations of GW170817 proved for the first time directly that neutron star
mergers are a major production site of heavy elements. The observations could be fit by a …

The electromagnetic observations of GW170817 were able to dramatically increase our
understanding of neutron star mergers beyond what we learned from gravitational waves …

Binary neutron star mergers are promising sources of gravitational waves for ground-based
detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Neutron-rich material ejected by these mergers may also …

Gravitational waves and electromagnetic signals from merging neutron star binaries provide
valuable information about the the properties of dense matter, the formation of heavy …

We study the three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamics of the post-core-bounce phase of the
collapse of a 27 M☉ star and pay special attention to the development of the standing …
