Testing general relativity with present and future astrophysical observations

Emanuele Berti, +64 more
TL;DR: In this article, a catalog of modified theories of gravity for which strong-field predictions have been computed and contrasted to Einstein's theory is presented, and the current understanding of the structure and dynamics of compact objects in these theories is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mass ejection from the merger of binary neutron stars

TL;DR: In this paper, numerical simulations for the merger of binary neutron stars are performed for a variety of equations of state (EOSs) and for a plausible range of the neutron star mass, focusing primarily on the properties of the material ejected from the system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Light rings as observational evidence for event horizons: Long-lived modes, ergoregions and nonlinear instabilities of ultracompact objects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the mode structure of ultracompact stars, in particular constant-density stars and gravastars, and conjecture that the long-lived modes become unstable under fragmentation via a Dyson-Chandrasekhar-Fermi mechanism at the nonlinear level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binary neutron star mergers: Dependence on the nuclear equation of state

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical simulation for binary neutron star mergers with 6 nuclear-theory-based equations of states (EOSs) described by piecewise polytropes is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamical mass ejection from black hole-neutron star binaries

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the properties of material ejected dynamically in the merger of black hole-neutron star binaries by numerical-relativity simulations and systematically study the dependence of ejecta properties on the mass ratio of the binary, spin of the black hole, and equation of state of the neutron-star matter.
