Hydrodynamic Calculations of Compact Binary Mergers

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

I will briefly review recent results from relativistic hydrodynamic calculations of compact binary mergers, with particular emphasis on black hole - neutron star mergers. The general case with misaligned, spinning components leads to a rich variety of merger morphologies and outcomes, with a correspondingly broad variety of gravitational wave signatures.
