The discovery of GW170817 with gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation is prompting new questions in strong-gravity astrophysics. Importantly, it remains unknown whether the progenitor of the merger comprised two neutron stars (NSs), or a NS and a black hole (BH). Using new numerical-relativity simulations and incorporating modeling uncertainties we produce novel GW and EM observables for NS-BH mergers with similar masses. A joint analysis of GW and EM measurements reveals that if GW170817 is a NS-BH merger, <40% of the binary parameters consistent with the GW data are compatible with EM observations.

A case study of GW190425 for classifying binary neutron star versus binary black hole mergers and constraining asymmetric dark matter with gravitational wave detectors
Assuming GW190425 was a black hole merger from dark-matter-induced neutron star collapse, the authors derive dark matter constraints and forecast that only Einstein Telescope/Cosmic Explorer can confidently classify s...

Using failed supernovae to constrain the Galactic r-process element production
A Galactic chemical evolution model in which neutron star-black hole mergers act as a second r-process site, with fewer supernovae producing iron, qualitatively reproduces the observed europium abundance scatter in me...
