The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

A stochastic background of gravitational waves could be created by the superposition of a
large number of independent sources. The physical processes occurring at the earliest …

On August 17, 2017 at 12∶ 41: 04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral …

We present a systematic numerical relativity study of the mass ejection and the associated
electromagnetic transients and nucleosynthesis from binary neutron star (NS) mergers. We …

We revisit the constraint on the maximum mass of cold spherical neutron stars coming from
the observational results of GW170817. We develop a new framework for the analysis by …

Gravitational-wave observation together with a large number of electromagnetic
observations shows that the source of the latest gravitational-wave event, GW170817 …

In a single process, the merger of binary neutron star systems combines extreme gravity, the
copious emission of gravitational waves, complex microphysics and electromagnetic …

The first observation of a binary neutron star (NS) coalescence by the Advanced LIGO and
Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) detectors offers an unprecedented opportunity to …

Mergers of binary neutron stars and black hole–neutron star binaries are among the most
promising sources for ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors and are also high …

The mergers of double neutron star (NS–NS) and black hole (BH)–NS binaries are
promising gravitational wave (GW) sources for Advanced LIGO and future GW detectors. The …
