Seminario

Il giorno 11 giugno alle ore 11 presso la stanza B200, Carlo Musolino (Frankfurt University) terra' un seminario dal titolo

Advances in Modeling Binary Neutron Star Mergers

Abstract

Binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are among the most energetic events in the universe, and have emerged as key targets in multimessenger astrophysics. They are associated with short gamma-ray bursts and kilonovae, and are believed to be primary sites for the synthesis of heavy elements via the r-process. Modeling these events accurately requires capturing the interplay of gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak interactions, making BNS mergers an exceptional laboratory for extreme physics.

In this talk, I will present recent progress in the modeling of neutrino transport in BNS mergers, and explore how weak interactions may leave observable imprints on electromagnetic counterparts. I will also highlight new numerical techniques that promise to improve the accuracy and predictive power of future simulations.
