Table 4.

A summary of Full GR NS-NS merger calculations. EOS models include polytropes, piecewise polytropes (PP), as well as physically motivated models including cold SLy [83], FPS [222], and APR [3] models to which one adds an ideal-gas hot component to reflect shock heating, as well as the Shen [268, 267] finite temperature model and EOS that include Hyperonic contributions [264]. “Co/Ir” indicates that both corotating and irrotational models were considered; “BHB” indicates that BH binary mergers were also presented, including both BH-BH and BH-NS types, “ν-leak” indicates a neutrino leakage scheme was included in the calculation, “GH” indicates calculations were performed using the GHG formalism rather than BSSN, “non-QE” indicates superposition initial data were used, including cases where eccentric configurations were studied (“Eccen.”); “MHD” indicates MHD was used to evolve the system.
