Supercomputing a Neutron Star Merger

Scientists are getting better at modeling the complex tangle of physics properties at play in one of the most powerful events in the known universe: the merger of two neutron stars. "We're starting from a set of physical principles, carrying out a calculation that nobody has done at this level before, and then asking, 'Are we reasonably close to observations or are we missing something important?'" said Rodrigo Fernindez, a co-author of the latest study and a researcher at the University of Alberta.
