Gravitational waves from nonspinning black hole-neutron star binaries: Dependence on equations of state

Journal Article Kyutoku, Koutarou ; Shibata, Masaru ; Taniguchi, Keisuke ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We report results of a numerical-relativity simulation for the merger of a black hole-neutron star binary with a variety of equations of state (EOSs) modeled by piecewise polytropes. We focus, in particular, on the dependence of the gravitational waveform at the merger stage on the EOSs. The initial conditions are computed in the moving-puncture framework, assuming that the black hole is nonspinning and the neutron star has an irrotational velocity field. For a small mass ratio of the binaries (e.g., M{sub BH}/M{sub NS}=2, where M{sub BH} and M{sub NS} are the masses of the black hole and neutron star, respectively),more »« less

Evidence-based search method for gravitational waves from neutron star ring-downs

Journal Article Clark, James ; Heng, Ik Siong ; Pitkin, Matthew ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The excitation of quadrupolar quasinormal modes in a neutron star leads to the emission of a short, distinctive, burst of gravitational radiation in the form of a decaying sinusoid or 'ring-down'.' We present a Bayesian analysis method which incorporates relevant prior information about the source and known instrumental artifacts to conduct a robust search for the gravitational wave emission associated with pulsar glitches and soft {gamma}-ray repeater flares. Instrumental transients are modeled as sine-Gaussian and their evidence, or marginal likelihood, is compared with that of Gaussian white noise and ring-downs via the 'odds-ratio'. Tests using simulated data with a noisemore »« less

Discriminating strange star mergers from neutron star mergers by gravitational-wave measurements

Journal Article Bauswein, A ; Oechslin, R ; Janka, H -T - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We perform three-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of the coalescence of strange stars and explore the possibility to decide on the strange matter hypothesis by means of gravitational-wave measurements. Self-binding of strange quark matter and the generally more compact stars yield features that clearly distinguish strange star from neutron star mergers, e.g. hampering tidal disruption during the plunge of quark stars. Furthermore, instead of forming dilute halo structures around the remnant as in the case of neutron star mergers, the coalescence of strange stars results in a differentially rotating hypermassive object with a sharp surface layer surrounded by a geometrically thin,more »« less

Search for Post-merger Gravitational Waves from the Remnant of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817

Journal Article Abbott, B. P. ; Abbott, R. ; Abbott, T. D. ; ... - The Astrophysical Journal. Letters

The first observation of a binary neutron star (NS) coalescence by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) detectors offers an unprecedented opportunity to study matter under the most extreme conditions. After such a merger, a compact remnant is left over whose nature depends primarily on the masses of the inspiraling objects and on the equation of state of nuclear matter. This could be either a black hole (BH) or an NS, with the latter being either long-lived or too massive for stability implying delayed collapse to a BH. In this work, we introduce a search for GWs from the remnant of the binary NS merger GW170817 using data from Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for short- (lesssim1 s) and intermediate-duration (lesssim500 s) signals, which include GW emission from a hypermassive NS or supramassive NS, respectively. We find no signal from the post-merger remnant. Our derived strain upper limits are more than an order of magnitude larger than those predicted by most models. For short signals, our best upper limit on the root sum square of the GW strain emitted from 1–4 kHz ismore »« less

Gravitational waves from pulsations of neutron stars described by realistic equations of state

Journal Article Bernuzzi, Sebastiano ; INFN, Gruppo Collegato di Parma ; Nagar, Alessandro ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In this work we discuss the time evolution of nonspherical perturbations of a nonrotating neutron star described by a realistic equation of state (EOS). We analyze 10 different EOS for a large sample of neutron star models. Various kinds of generic initial data are evolved and the gravitational signals are computed. We focus on the dynamical excitation of fluid and spacetime modes and extract the corresponding frequencies. We employ a constrained numerical algorithm based on standard finite-differencing schemes which permits stable and long-term evolutions. Our code provides accurate waveforms and allows one to capture, via Fourier analysis, the frequencies ofmore »« less
