Magnetic field effects on non-vacuum binaries

ORAL

Abstract

Observational evidence suggests that sizeable magnetic fields are present in a fair number of neutron star binaries and neutron star-black hole binaries. These magnetic fields can have a strong influence on the fluid's dynamics, the energetics of the system and even the production of gravitational radiation. We present results of non-vacuum binary neutron star and black hole- neutron star collisions and examine the influence of magnetic fields on the gravitational waves, fluid structure and dynamical behavior of the system.
