Description
We investigate the impact of different physics on numerical-relativity simulations of black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers. In particular, we are interested in how magnetic fields and the subsequent inclusion of neutrino transport shape the gravitational radiation and ejecta of certain BHNS mergers. The simulations for this study are carried out with the GPU-accelerated code AthenaK.
