In general neutron stars in binaries are spinning. Recently, a new quasi-equilibrium approximation that includes a rotational velocity piece for each star has been proposed to describe binary neutron stars with arbitrary rotation states in quasi-circular orbits. We have implemented this approximation numerically for the first time, to generate initial data for neutron star binaries with spin. If we choose the rotational velocity piece such that it equals the Newtonian rigid rotation law, we obtain stars with fluid 4-velocities that have expansion and shear of approximately zero, as one would expect for quasi-equilibrium configurations. We also use the new approach to construct and study initial data sequences for irrotational, corotating and fixed rotation binaries.

    astro-ph.HE 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First consistent numerical simulations of dark-matter-admixed neutron star mergers show that dark matter cores favor black hole collapse, halos form common envelopes, and standard tidal deformability calculations fail...

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Celephais constructs spectrally accurate binary-neutron-star and black-hole-neutron-star initial data with arbitrary spin orientations, using a sparse Jacobian, adaptive hp-refinement, and PN-informed eccentricity reduction.

  3. Black-hole - neutron-star mergers: new numerical-relativity simulations and multipolar effective-one-body model with spin precession and eccentricity

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new catalog of 52 numerical-relativity BHNS merger simulations is used to calibrate TEOBResumS-Dalí, an improved effective-one-body waveform model with multipolar ringdown, spin precession, and eccentricity.

  4. The error budget of binary neutron star merger simulations for configurations with high spin

    gr-qc 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    For highly spinning (chi=0.5) binary neutron stars, evolution code choice is the largest numerical waveform error, and current analytical models disagree with numerical relativity beyond that error after the stars touch.

  5. Axisymmetric stability of neutron stars as extreme rotators in massive scalar-tensor theory

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Differentially rotating scalarized neutron stars with enormous angular momentum are axisymmetrically stable up to the turning point of their mass sequence, beyond which they collapse to black holes, confirming the tur...

  6. Eccentricity reduction of binary neutron star initial data with the entropy based flux limiting scheme

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the entropy-based flux limiter in both eccentricity reduction and evolution yields apparent fifth-order convergence in binary neutron star waveform phase.

    gr-qc 2019-09 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nucleon-nucleon-axion bremsstrahlung cooling in binary neutron star merger remnants is too weak to leave a detectable imprint on gravitational waves or ejecta, so it cannot improve axion mass constraints.

    Numerical relativity simulations of a GW170817-like binary neutron star merger with strange quark matter cores show that strong phase transitions reduce convergence order to first order at insufficient resolution, yet...
