Linking electromagnetic and gravitational radiation in coalescing binary neutron stars

Palenzuela, Carlos, Lehner, Luis, Liebling, Steven L. et al.

Understand

We expand on our study of the gravitational and electromagnetic emissions from the late stage of an inspiraling neutron star binary as presented in Ref.

\cite{Palenzuela:2013hu}.
Interactions between the stellar magnetospheres, driven by the extreme dynamics of the merger, can yield considerable outflows.
We study the gravitational and electromagnetic waves produced during the inspiral and merger of a binary neutron star system using a full relativistic, resistive MHD evolution code.
