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) …

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 waves detected from the binary neutron star (NS) merger GW170817
constrained the NS equation of state by placing an upper bound on certain parameters …

Recent numerical simulations in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD)
provide useful constraints for the interpretation of the GW170817 discovery. Combining the …

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

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 …

On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of
gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of …

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 …

Recent detection of gravitational waves from a neutron star (NS) merger event GW170817
and identification of an electromagnetic counterpart provide a unique opportunity to study …
