Black-hole formation in binary neutron star mergers: The impact of spin on the prompt-collapse scenario

Accurate modeling of the multimessenger signatures connected to binary neutron star mergers requires proper knowledge on the final remnant's fate and the conditions under which black holes (BHs) can form in such mergers. In this article, we use a suite of 84 numerical-relativity simulations in 28 different physical setups to …
