118. MAGNETIC FIELDS IN RELATIVISTIC COMPACT-OBJECT BINARIES

Prof. Luciano Rezzolla (AEI)

28/03/2014, 10:50

I will review the recent progress made in modelling binaries of compact objects and the role played by magnetic fields in their evolution. Special attention will be paid to binary neutron stars and to highlighting how the progress of ab-initio fully relativitistic calculations can be used to several aspects of the phenomenology of short gamma-ray burst.

131. Extracting information on the neutron star equation of state via gravitational waves from binary inspirals

Dr Tanja Hinderer (Caltech, USA)

28/03/2014, 11:30

Binary neutron stars and neutron star-black hole systems are some of the most promising sources for gravitational-wave observations with Advanced terrestrial interferometer detectors. For such systems, the matter contributes to the spacetime dynamics, leaving an imprint on the gravitational radiation from the system. I will discuss how we can understand and model this imprint, so that we can...
