Description
I will present fully general relativistic simulations of binary neutron star mergers employing a new zero-temperature chiral effective field theory equation of state (EOS), the Bombaci-Logoteta (BL) EOS, and compare with simulations using the older GM3 EOS, which is based on standard relativistic mean-field theory. I will provide a detailed analysis of the dynamics, with focus on the post-merger phase and on the properties of the post-merger remnant. For all models, I will show the gravitational wave strain and the post-merger frequency spectrum. I will also discuss the properties of ejected matter and of the resulting kilonova signals.
