Description
With the detection of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 a new era
of multi-messenger astronomy started. GW170817 proved that neutron
star mergers are ideal laboratories to constrain the equation of state of
cold supranuclear matter, to study the central engines of short GRBs,
and to understand the origin and production of heavy elements.
In this talk, we discuss how the last milliseconds before and
after the merger can be studied with full 3D numerical relativity simulations
to obtain information about the emitted gravitational wave
and electromagnetic signals.
