The very first detection of gravitational waves from a neutron star binary merger, GW170817, exceeded all expectations. The event was relatively nearby, which may point to a relatively high merger rate. It was possible to extract…

The stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) generated by the inspiral and merger of binary neutron stars is traditionally modelled assuming that the inspiral is promptly followed by the collapse of the merger remnant to a rotating…

Gravitational wave astronomy pipelines rely on template waveform models for searches and parameter estimation purposes. For coalescing binary neutron stars (BNS), such models need to accurately reproduce numerical relativity (NR) up to…

The dynamics in mergers of binary neutron star (BNS) systems depend sensitively on the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter. This has profound implications on the emission of gravitational waves (GWs) and the ejection of matter in the…
