We report results of a high-resolution numerical-relativity simulation for the merger of black hole-magnetized neutron star binaries on Japanese supercomputer "K". We focus on a binary that is subject to tidal disruption and subsequent formation of a massive accretion torus. We find the launch of thermally driven torus wind, subsequent formation of a funnel wall above the torus and a magnetosphere with collimated poloidal magnetic field, and high Blandford-Znajek luminosity. We show for the first time this picture in a self-consistent simulation. The turbulence-like motion induced by the non-axisymmetric magnetorotational instability as well as the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability inside the accretion torus works as an agent to drive the mass accretion and converts the accretion energy to thermal energy, which results in the generation of a strong wind. By an in-depth resolution study, we reveal that high resolution is essential to draw such a picture. We also discuss the implication for the r-process nucleosynthesis, the radioactively-powered transient emission, and short gamma-ray bursts.

Critical Behavior of Photon Rings in Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson Spacetime
For a magnetized Kerr-Bertotti-Robinson black hole, the photon-ring parameters gamma, delta, and tau all decrease compared with the unmagnetized Kerr case, weakening the self-similar stacking of higher-order images.

Magnetic effects on fundamental modes in rotating neutron stars with a purely toroidal magnetic field
Even with both rotation and a toroidal magnetic field, neutron star fundamental-mode frequencies stay quasi-linear in compactness and T/|W|, with magnetization-dependent slopes, and the f_2f/f_F ratio can help constra...

Implications of Magnetic Flux-Disk Mass Correlation in Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers for GRB sub-populations
BH-NS merger simulations find a nearly universal dimensionless magnetic flux on the black hole across two decades of disk mass, which, extrapolated with prior long-term runs, implies all BH-NS mergers produce long-dur...
