Hi,
Our Theory and Computational Astrophysics Network (TCAN) is hosting an international workshop to discuss the science, observations and simulations of binary neutron stars and black hole - neutron star mergers. The meeting will be held virtually over zoom. The dates will be July 12--16; all talk sessions will be in the morning, US Eastern time. The afternoons will be dedicated to open format discussions. You can view our full schedule here: https://compact-binaries.org/node/2856 https://compact-binaries.org/node/2856
The topics for the talks on day 1 will focus on reviewing the status of the merger simulations for both BNS and BH/NS binaries. On day 2, talks will be dedicated to nuclear physics, equation of state, nucleosynthesis and post merger simulations. On day 3 (July 14) , the topics will range from particle transport in fluid dynamics, radiation transport and kilonovae. Finally, day 4 we will be dedicated to magnetic field amplification and topology, and jet launching. If you would like to attend, please register by sending me (yosef@astro.rit.edu) an email by Sunday 5pm EDT. There is no fee associated with attending.
