Merging Compact Binaries
Abstract
Dong Lai
Merging Compact Binaries
The merger of binary systems containing neutron stars, black holes or white dwarfs can lead to various extreme phenomena that are observable throughout the universe. I will discuss recent works on merging neutron star/black hole binaries and white dwarf binaries, focusing on dynamical processes in the pre-merger phase, gravitational waves and potential constraint on nuclear matter.
Time permitting, I will also give a brief review on the physics of matter and radiation in strong magnetic fields and how it affects the observational manifestations of various isolated neutron stars.
If you would like to give a seminar in our group, please contact Vladimir Karas or Jaroslav Hamersky.
