We perform three-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamical calculations of neutron star mergers to assess the reliability of an approximate treatment of thermal effects in such simulations by combining an ideal-gas component with zero-temperature, micro-physical equations of state. To this end we compare the results of simulations that make this approximation to the outcome of models with a consistent treatment of thermal effects in the equation of state. In particular we focus on the implications for observable consequences of merger events like the gravitational-wave signal. It is found that the characteristic gravitational-wave oscillation frequencies of the post-merger remnant differ by about 50 to 250 Hz (corresponding to frequency shifts of 2 to 8 per cent) depending on the equation of state and the choice of the characteristic index of the ideal-gas component. In addition, the delay time to black hole collapse of the merger remnant as well as the amount of matter remaining outside the black hole after its formation are sensitive to the description of thermal effects.

Post-Merger Gravitational-Wave Uncertainties of Binary Neutron Stars under Multi-Messenger EOS Constraints
With current multi-messenger EOS constraints, the post-merger peak frequency f2,mean is determined to ~100 Hz at fixed mass and tidal deformability/radius, tight enough to expose thermal or phase-transition physics.

High-Density Sound Speed and Post-Merger Dynamics
The slope of the high-density sound-speed curve shifts the post-merger gravitational-wave peak frequency and ejecta mass, and that peak frequency partially correlates with an integrated 'intrinsic tidal response' — bu...

Extending the infrastructure of the BAM code towards resistive general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics: tests and first applications
BAM gains a validated resistive GRMHD module; BNS runs show the parallel electric field reaching up to 10% of total strength in low-density disks, unlike ideal MHD.

Post-Merger Gravitational-Wave Uncertainties of Binary Neutron Stars under Multi-Messenger EOS Constraints
Multi-messenger constraints shrink the residual uncertainty in post-merger frequency f_{2,mean} to ~100 Hz for fixed mass and compactness, well below the unconstrained range.
