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 …

Combining the GW observations of merging systems of binary neutron stars and quasi-
universal relations, we set constraints on the maximum mass that can be attained by …

We explore in a parameterized manner a very large range of physically plausible equations
of state (EOSs) for compact stars for matter that is either purely hadronic or that exhibits a …

A long-standing paradigm in astrophysics is that collisions—or mergers—of two neutron
stars form highly relativistic and collimated outflows (jets) that power γ-ray bursts of short …

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 …

Double neutron star (DNS) systems represent extreme physical objects and the endpoint of
an exotic journey of stellar evolution and binary interactions. Large numbers of DNS systems …

Abstract On 2017 August 17, the gravitational-wave event GW170817 was observed by the
Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors, and the gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 170817A was …

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 …

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 …
