Description

We present results from new simulations performed with Spritz, a general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) code built on the Einstein Toolkit infrastructure and developed for high-precision studies of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers with realistic microphysical equations of state (EOS). These simulations build upon recent developments in the code, which enable the evolution of magnetized systems with tabulated EOS. We model both magnetized and non-magnetized equal-mass binaries employing two EOS inspired by the GW170817 event. Our analysis focuses on the gravitational-wave (GW) emission, as well as on the potential formation of relativistic jets and neutron-rich outflows.
