Uncertainties in Modeling Populations of Binary Neutron Stars |
|
Abstract |
Many merging neutron star binary systems are formed in massive star binaries and accurate models of the evolution of these stellar binaries toward the formation of compact neutron star binaries are required to produce merger rates and properties that are important in understanding short-duration gamma-ray bursts, r-process production and gravitational wave emission. However, these models rely on a detailed understanding of both stellar conditions, stellar evolution and supernovae. I will review the recent results of these evolutionary models and their predictions for these phenomena, focusing on some of the outstanding uncertainties in the population synthesis models. |
