Signatures of hypermassive neutron star lifetimes on r-process nucleosynthesis in the disc ejecta from neutron star mergers
We investigate the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in the winds ejected by accretion discs formed in neutron star mergers. We compute the element formation in disc outflows from hypermassive neutron star (HMNS) remnants of variable lifetime, including the effect of angular momentum transport in the disc evolution. We employ long-term axisymmetric hydrodynamic disc simulations to model the eje...

متن کاملBinary Neutron Star Mergers
We review the current status of studies of the coalescence of binary neutron star systems. We begin with a discussion of the formation channels of merging binaries and we discuss the most recent theoretical predictions for merger rates. Next, we turn to the quasi-equilibrium formalisms that are used to study binaries prior to the merger phase and to generate initial data for fully dynamical sim...
متن کاملGamma-ray Bursts from Neutron Star Mergers
Binary neutron stars merger (NSM) at cosmological distances is probably the only γ-ray bursts model based on an independently observed phenomenon which is known to be taking place at a comparable rate. We describe this model, its predictions and some open questions. Cosmological γ-Ray Bursts and Fireballs Compton-GRO has demonstrated, quite convincingly, that γ-ray bursts (grbs) originate from ...
متن کاملTransient Events from Neutron Star Mergers
Mergers of neutron stars (NS+NS) or neutron stars and stellar mass black holes (NS+BH) eject a small fraction of matter with a sub-relativistic velocity. Upon rapid decompression nuclear density medium condenses into neutron rich nuclei, most of them radioactive. Radioactivity provides a long term heat source for the expanding envelope. A brief transient has the peak luminosity in the supernova...
