We perform radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers in numerical relativity on the Japanese "K" supercomputer, taking into account neutrino cooling and heating by an updated…
Remnant massive neutron stars of binary neutron star mergers: Evolution process and gravitational waveform
- K. Hotokezaka, K. Kiuchi, K. Taniguchi
- Physics, Geology
- 22 July 2013
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 neutron stars and…
Binary neutron star mergers: Dependence on the nuclear equation of state
- K. Hotokezaka, K. Kyutoku, Hirotada Okawa, M. Shibata, K. Kiuchi
- Physics
- 22 May 2011
We perform a numerical-relativity simulation for the merger of binary neutron stars with 6 nuclear-theory-based equations of states (EOSs) described by piecewise polytropes. Our purpose is to explore…
High resolution magnetohydrodynamic simulation of black hole-neutron star merger: Mass ejection and short gamma ray bursts
