11 Effect of Mass Ratio on Disk Mass Γ=2 EOS, C NS =0.145, non-spinning BH Shibata, Kyutoku, Yamamoto & Taniguchi, PRD 79 (2009) Etienne, Liu, Shapiro & Baumgarte, PRD 79 (2009) Discrepancy in q=3! accuracy degrades as matter crosses AMR refinement boundaries angular momentum spuriously lost (2% Illinois, 5% Kyoto, ~1% Cornell?) need to perform more accuracy simulations Foucart, Duez, Kidder & Teukolsky, arxiv:

18 Precession of Disk Different precession rate at different radii Fragile et al [Astrophys. J. 691 (2009) 482]: should precess at a constant rate as a solid body after ~4s Timescale much longer than expected lifetime of BHNS disk remnant (~100ms)

19 Effects of NS EOS Duez et al, Class. Quantum Grav. 27 (2010) Simulations with Γ=2, Γ=2.75 and Shen EOS Need to evolve electron fraction Y e in Shen EOS i ( gρy ) + ( gρy v ) = s t e i e s : set by weak interaction and neutrino radiation Two limiting cases: - weak interaction timescale p merger timescale, set s=0 - weak interaction timescale ` merger timescale, enforce β- equilibrium: µ n = µ p+ µ e

20 Effects of NS EOS: Results For a fixed NS compaction, disk mass, GW waveforms are insensitive to NS EOS. Higher compaction, lower disk mass. Similar density and temperature in disk Different disk composition between Shen- Adv and Shen-βEOS (more electron-rich in Shen-β EOS) Larger tidal tail for stiff EOSs No outflow in all GR simulations
