Abstract:
The era of multi-messenger astronomy has started with the first observation
of gravitational and electromagnetic radiation from a likely binary neutron
star inspiral event. A single event delivered information about the unknown
equation of state of matter at supranuclear densities, about the connection
between mergers and short-gamma ray burst, about the site of production
(via r-process nucleosynthesis) of heavy elements in the Universe, and
about cosmography (independent measure of the Hublle constant). A crucial
and necessary ingredient for LIGO and Virgo observations is the precise
knowledge of the dynamics of the sources and of the emitted waveforms. I
will talk about recent developments on the modeling of gravitational waves
from neutron star mergers that use numerical simulations in general
relativity.
