Description
We discuss recent calculations investigating the detailed
impact of various "non-nucleonic" degrees of freedom in neutron star
mergers. Pions are neglected in equation of state tables for merger
simualtions but might actually occur in neutron star matter. We quantify
their potential impact on the obseravbles of neutron star mergers. We
describe a weak but potentially measurable signature of hyperons in
neutron star mergers. Finally, we discuss the effects of deconfined
quark matter.
