"Unveiling Thermal Effects in Binary Neutron Star Mergers through Gravitational Waves"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org
Researchers have used computer simulations to study the thermal effects in binary neutron star mergers and their correlation with gravitational waves. By varying the specific heat capacity in the equation of state, they found a strong relationship between the remnant's temperature and the frequency of gravitational waves. Future detectors will be able to distinguish different models of nuclear matter and provide valuable insights into hot nuclear matter.
