abstract
The merger of neutron stars drives a relativistic jet which can be observed as a short gamma-ray burst. A strong large-scale magnetic field is necessary to launch the relativistic jet. However, the magnetohydrodynamical mechanism to build up this magnetic field remains uncertain. Here we show that the $\alpha\Omega$ dynamo mechanism driven by the magnetorotational instability builds up the large-scale magnetic field inside the long-lived binary neutron star merger remnant by performing an {\it ab initio} super-high resolution neutrino-radiation magnetohydrodynamics merger simulation in full general relativity. As a result, the magnetic field induces the Poynting-flux dominated relativistic outflow with the luminosity $\sim 10^{51}$\,erg/s and magnetically-driven post-merger mass ejection with the mass $\sim 0.1M_\odot$. Therefore, the magnetar scenario in binary neutron star mergers is possible. These can be the engines of short-hard gamma-ray bursts and very bright kilonovae. Therefore, this scenario is testable in future observation.

Subsolar-mass binary mergers of strange stars and neutron stars: gravitational waves and ejecta
Subsolar strange star mergers produce a lower post-merger-to-cutoff GW frequency ratio than neutron star mergers, cleanly separating the two classes across equations of state and mass ratios.

Transport Properties of the MRI in Differentially Rotating Neutron Stars
Saturated MRI turbulence in differentially rotating neutron stars yields ℓ_mix ≈ (0.01–0.1) λ_MRI, largely independent of density, so standard GRLES mixing-length prescriptions overestimate transport by about an order...

Impact of rotation on magnetic field stability and orientation in isolated neutron stars
In 3D GRMHD simulations, neutron star rotation delays Tayler, kink, and Parker instabilities, so faster-spinning models retain more magnetic energy over 10 Alfven times.

Neutrino pair annihilation driven jets from black-hole torus systems
Neutrino pair annihilation in black hole-torus systems launches relativistic fireballs with isotropic energies up to about 10^51 erg and durations around 0.1 s, which can account for faint short GRBs and GRB precursors.
