$\nu\texttt{bhlight}$: Radiation GRMHD for Neutrino-Driven Accretion Flows

Understand

The 2017 detection of the in-spiral and merger of two neutron stars was a landmark discovery in astrophysics.

• We now know that such mergers are central engines of short gamma ray bursts and sites of r-process nucleosynthesis, where the heaviest elements in our universe are formed.
• In the coming years, we expect many more such mergers.
• Modeling such systems presents a significant computational challenge along with the observational one.
