Relastro @ ITP - Goethe University, Frankfurt | Black hole - neutron star merger: dependence on the black hole spin @relastroitp-goetheuniversi1616 | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Evolution of a black hole - neutron star system as a function of black hole spin. The neutron stars are identical in each case, with mass equal to 1.4 solar masses and modeled with the DD2 equation of state. The ratio of the black hole to the neutron star mass in each case is 4.The dimensionless black hole spin parameters from left to right are 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8, respectively. Higher prograde black hole spins leads to more prominent disruption events, for which more massive accretion discs are left.
