The Gravitational Wave (GW) events GW150914, GW151226, GW170104 detected by LIGO were a record of Black Hole binary merging system (BH-BH) very probably in nearly empty or a vacuum space; such a kind of events will be mostly with no baryon…
Neutron-star mergers are interesting for several reasons: they are proposed as the progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts, they have been speculated to be a site for the synthesis of heavy elements, and they emit gravitational waves possibly…

The coalescence of a neutron-star binary is likely to result in the formation of a neutron-star merger remnant for a large range of binary mass configurations. The massive merger remnant shows strong oscillations, which are excited by the…
