Making up a short GRB: The bright fate of mergers of compact objects
arXiv:astro-ph/0701374 · doi:10.1142/9789812834300_0203
Abstract
We show some of the most important reasons why the likely fate of the merger of a neutron star with another compact object may be to yield a short gamma-ray burst (sGRB). Emphasis is made on some robust results that general relativistic (magneto)hydrodynamic simulations have established regarding the aforementioned subject.
