Conclusions
Neutron star mergers are a strong gravitational wave source and thus a primecandidate for detection by one of the ground based interferometers.Currently, they are also the preferred model for the central engine of short GRBs.
Using hydrodynamic simulations, we have investigated the merger dynamics and thefollowing torus formation depending on the initial NS mass ratio, spin and the EoS.
We found torus masses between ~0.03M¯ (q=1, no spin, LSEoS) and ~0.30M¯(q=0.55, no spin, Shen EoS). These results are compatible with estimates inferredfrom observations of the first 4 short GRBs.
The merger and postmerger GW signal and spectrum depend very sensitivelyon the nuclear EoS. A measurement of a merger signal may help to further restrict theEoS parameter space.
