| Abstract: |
Numerical relativity plays many important roles in astrophysics and general relativity, e.g., in understanding mergers of black holes and neutron stars, formation processes of black holes for a wide variety of stellar collapses, and launching mechanisms of jets. In this talk, I will summarize our current understanding of the merger and post- processes for neutron-star binaries introducing our latest results of numerical simulations. I will pay particular attention to nucleosynthesis of heavy elements and provide predictions for the future observations. I will give a speculation for the merger process of GW170817. |
