The rich phenomenology of binary neutron star mergers offers a unique opportunity to test general relativity, investigate matter at supranuclear densities, and learn more about the origin of heavy elements. As multi-messenger sources, they…

Coalescing neutron star binaries are believed to be the most reliable sources for ground-based detectors of gravitational waves and likely progenitors of short gamma-ray bursts. In the process of coalescence, magnetic fields of neutron…
