Neutron Star Binaries - Mergers, Matter and Modeling - Philippe Landry

Explore the fascinating world of neutron star binaries in this 46-minute conference talk by Philippe Landry from CITA. Delve into the mergers, matter, and modeling of these celestial phenomena as part of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics' series on gravitational waves. Discover how the detection of gravitational waves by Advanced LIGO/Virgo has revolutionized physics, impacting fields from stellar evolution to cosmology. Learn about the precision modeling required for interpreting gravitational-wave events and searching for new physics. Gain insights into the challenges facing theoretical communities, including classical relativists and field theorists, as they work towards more sensitive ground-based detectors and future space-based observatories. Understand the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing our understanding of gravitational waves and their implications for the universe.
