Numerical Analysis - Binary Neutron Stars - IPAM at UCLA

Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM) via YouTube

Overview

Explore the complex world of binary neutron star mergers in this comprehensive lecture by Jose Antonio Font from the University of Valencia. Delve into the challenges of numerically modeling these powerful gravitational wave sources, which are also associated with short-hard gamma-ray bursts and the formation of heavy elements. Gain insights into the evolution of numerical relativity techniques, from early 2000s simulations to current capabilities that capture the full dynamics of inspiral, merger, and post-merger phases. Examine the fundamental framework for modeling binary neutron star systems, with a focus on hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics equations and their numerical solutions. Review key findings from recent simulations and understand their implications for gravitational wave astronomy and astrophysics.
