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

We provide a comprehensive review of major developments in our understanding of gamma-
ray bursts, with particular focus on the discoveries made within the last fifteen years when …

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 …

We present a comprehensive catalog and analysis of broadband afterglow observations for
103 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), comprised of all short GRBs from 2004 …

We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the dynamical ejecta, winds, and
nucleosynthesis in neutron star (NS) merger remnants. Binaries with the chirp mass …

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) display a bimodal duration distribution with a separation between
the short-and long-duration bursts at about 2 s. The progenitors of long GRBs have been …

Magnetars are the strongest magnets in the present universe and the combination of
extreme magnetic field, gravity and density makes them unique laboratories to probe current …

We present fully general-relativistic simulations of binary neutron star mergers with a
temperature and composition dependent nuclear equation of state. We study the dynamical …

We present a detailed, three-dimensional hydrodynamic study of the neutrino-driven winds
emerging from the remnant of a neutron star merger. Our simulations are performed with the …

In this study we explore nucleosynthesis in the dynamic ejecta of compact binary mergers.
We are particularly interested in the question how sensitive the resulting abundance …
