Neutrino transport in magnetized collisions of compact objects

ORAL

Abstract

We simulate binary mergers of either two neutron stars or a neutron star with a black hole using our open-source code MHDuet which evolves the fully nonlinear Einstein equations coupled to magnetohydrodynamics using Large Eddy Simulation techniques that help resolve the small scale magnetic turbulence that develops. The code also includes either a leakage scheme or a more advanced moment scheme (M1) for neutrino transport that allows for composition-dependent analysis of any ejected material.
