Numerical Studies of Accretion Flows onto a Neutron Star Engulfed in a Massive Star
The episode discusses a paper by Sakurai et al. that uses General Relativistic Hydrodynamics (GRHD) simulations to study accretion flows onto neutron stars engulfed in massive star envelopes. The hosts explore how the research addresses scale issues, identifies nested-shock structures, and provides physically grounded parameters for binary evolution models.
