General relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations for binary neutron star mergers

Understand

Binary neutron star mergers used to be the most promising candidate for gravitational waves for ground-based gravitational wave detectors, such as advanced LIGO and advanced VIRGO.

• This was proved by the detection of gravitational waves from a binary neutron star merger in 2017.
• Numerical modeling is pivotal in predicting and interpreting binary neutron star mergers.
• This chapter reviews the progress of fully general relativistic magnetized binary neutron star merger simulations.
