Newtonian hydrodynamics of the coalescence of black holes with neutron stars -- II. Tidally locked binaries with a soft equation of state
We present a numerical study of the hydrodynamics in the final stages of inspiral of a black hole—neutron star binary, when the binary separation becomes comparable to the stellar radius. We use a Newtonian three-dimensional smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code, and model the neutron star with a soft (adiabatic index …
