The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

Neutrino–neutrino refraction dominates the flavor evolution in core-collapse supernovae,
neutron star mergers, and the early Universe. Ordinary neutrino flavor conversions develop …

We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the mass ejection and the associated
electromagnetic transients and nucleosynthesis from binary neutron star (NS) mergers. We …

Gravitational-wave observation together with a large number of electromagnetic
observations shows that the source of the latest gravitational-wave event, GW170817 …

The mergers of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
promising gravitational wave (GW) sources for Advanced LIGO and future GW detectors. The …

We present a new moment-based energy-integrated neutrino transport code for neutron star
merger simulations in general relativity. In the merger context, ours is the first code to include …

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 coalescence of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
prime sources of gravitational waves (GW) for Advanced LIGO/Virgo and future ground …

We investigate the long-term evolution of black hole accretion discs formed in neutron star
mergers. These discs expel matter that contributes to an r-process kilonova, and can …

Mergers of binary neutron stars and black hole–neutron star binaries are among the most
promising sources for ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors and are also high …
