abstract

We perform a general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulation for $\approx 30$ ms after merger of a binary neutron star to a remnant massive neutron star (RMNS) with a high spatial resolution of the finest grid resolution $12.5$ m. First, we estimate that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at merger could amplify the magnetic-field energy up to $\sim 1\%$ of the thermal energy. Second, we find that the magnetorotational instability in the RMNS envelope and torus with $\rho < 10^{13}~{\rm g~cm^{-3}}$ sustains magneto-turbulent state and the effective viscous parameter in these regions is likely to converge to $\approx 0.01$--$0.02$ with respect to the grid resolution. Third, the current grid resolution is not still fine enough to sustain magneto-turbulent state in the RMNS with $\rho \ge 10^{13}~{\rm g~cm^{-3}}$.

A magnetar formation in binary neutron star merger

astro-ph.HE · 2026-06-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

High-resolution GR neutrino-radiation MHD simulation of 1.35-1.35 Msun BNS merger shows KHI-driven B-field amplification to magnetar levels (~10^50 erg, factor >=316) in 3 ms post-merger.
