It has been more than half a decade since the first joint detection of gravitational wave and its electromagnetic counterparts (GW170817). The physical models on binary-neutron-star (BNS) mergers are continuously challenged by the ongoing observational facts and the progress in simulation. I will be briefly reviewing the history of models for BNS mergers and presenting the efforts we have made to amend them. We also try to dig into more fundamental problems, such as the maximum mass of NSs, blast wave physics , etc.
BIO
Dr. Shunke Ai got his PhD from University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2022. He is now doing postdoctoral research at Wuhan University. His rearch interests mainly focus on the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational waves. As a theoriest, he also enjoys exploring different areas, such as gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts and high energy neutrinos.
