The evolution of binary neutron star post-merger remnants: a review

N Sarin, PD Lasky - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2021 - Springer
Two neutron stars merge somewhere in the Universe approximately every 10 to 100 s,
creating violent explosions potentially observable in gravitational waves and across the …

Binary neutron star mergers: mass ejection, electromagnetic counterparts, and nucleosynthesis

D Radice, A Perego, K Hotokezaka… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the mass ejection and the associated

Black hole formation in failing core-collapse supernovae

E O'Connor, CD Ott - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We present results of a systematic study of failing core-collapse supernovae and the

Three-dimensional GRMHD simulations of neutrino-cooled accretion disks from neutron star mergers

DM Siegel, BD Metzger - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Merging binaries consisting of two neutron stars (NSs) or an NS and a stellar-mass black
hole typically form a massive accretion torus around the remnant black hole or long-lived …

Neutron star merger remnants

S Bernuzzi - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2020 - Springer
Binary neutron star mergers observations are a unique way to constrain fundamental

Rotating stars in relativity

V Paschalidis, N Stergioulas - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2017 - Springer
Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically
and observationally, because of the information they might yield about the equation of state …
