Description

Hydrodynamic simulations were performed of the dynamical phase of the merging of binary neutron stars (NS-NS) and of neutron star black hole binaries (NS-BH), using the physical nuclear equation of state of Lattimer and Swesty (1991) and taking into account the emission of gravitational waves and neutrinos.
