Relastro @ ITP - Goethe University, Frankfurt | NewCompStar: Binary neutron star merger in 3D @relastroitp-goetheuniversi1616 | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 26 seconds ago
In this visualization, we show the merger of two 1.35 solar mass neutron stars with the LS220 equation of state, which are on a quasi-circular orbit.
It shows the density evolution in full 3D. The color map has a logarithmic scale and thus captures the dense neutron star matter as well as the outflowing material.
The formation of a bar shaped hyper massive neutron star (HMNS), which emits intense gravitational waves, is clearly visible. After loosing enough angular momentum, the HMNS collapses to a Kerr black hole surrounded by an accretion disk.
The code used is the EinsteinToolkit with WhiskyTHC.
Creating this visualization of the simulation data was supported by NewCompStar (MPI304 Cost Action).
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a pan-European intergovernmental framework.
Its mission is to enable break-through scientific and technological developments leading to new concepts and products and thereby contribute to strengthening Europe’s research and innovation capacities.
