Finite-temperature effects in dynamical-spacetime binary neutron star merger simulations: Validation of the parametric approach

Understand

Parametric equations of state (EoSs) provide an important tool for systematically studying EoS effects in neutron star merger simulations.

• In this work, we perform a numerical validation of the M*-framework for parametrically calculating finite-temperature EoS tables.
• The framework, introduced in Raithel et al.
• (2019), provides a model for generically extending any cold, beta-equilibrium EoS to finite-temperatures and arbitrary electron fractions.
