Numerical simulations of eccentric Proca-star mergers show that relative phase between the stars controls post-merger fate and can generate odd-mode gravitational waves absent from black-hole mergers.

Numerical simulations of eccentric Proca-star mergers show that relative phase between the stars controls post-merger fate and can generate odd-mode gravitational waves absent from black-hole mergers.
