Resistive GRMHD simulations of rotating neutron stars show resistivity changes magnetic field geometries, suppresses instabilities, and lowers GW emission amplitude while maintaining a consistent 9:1 poloidal-to-toroidal energy ratio over 100 ms.

abstract
Recent numerical simulations indicate the presence of dynamical instabilities of the f-mode in differentially rotating stars even at very low values of $T/|W|$, the ratio of kinetic to potential energy. In this Letter we argue that these may be shear instabilities which occur when the degree of differential rotation exceeds a critical value and the f-mode develops a corotation point associated with the presence of a continuous spectrum. Our explanation, which is supported by detailed studies of a simple shell model, offers a straightforward way of understanding all of the key features of these instabilities.

Simulations show the low-T/|W| instability develops robustly across five nuclear EOS in a rapidly rotating 35 M⊙ progenitor, with dominant GW frequency correlating to PNS compactness and stiffness.
Numerical post-merger waveforms indicate that planned 3rd-generation GW detector networks can detect rotational instabilities in BNS remnants at distances up to 200 Mpc with a high-frequency design, and the main post-merger peak at 40 Mpc with upgraded HLV.
