  Gamma-ray bursts and kilonovae from the accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs

  We present the first seconds-long multidimensional general relativistic neutrino magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion-induced collapse (AIC) in rapidly rotating, magnetized white dwarfs (WDs). Our findings show that, with sufficiently strong initial […]

  General-relativistic resistive-magnetohydrodynamics simulations of self-consistent magnetized rotating neutron stars

  We present the first general-relativistic resistive magnetohydrodynamics simulations of self-consistent, rotating neutron stars with mixed poloidal and toroidal magnetic fields. Specifically, we investigate the role of resistivity in the dynamical […]

  Energy-dependent and energy-integrated two-moment general-relativistic neutrino transport simulations of hypermassive neutron star

  We compare two-moment based energy-dependent and 3 variants of energy-integrated neutrino transport general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of hypermassive neutron star. To study the impacts due to the choice of the neutrino […]

  Robustness of neutron star merger simulations to changes in neutrino transport and neutrino-matter interactions

  Binary neutron star mergers play an important role in nuclear astrophysics: their gravitational wave and electromagnetic signals carry information about the equation of state of cold matter above nuclear saturation […]
