We study the impact of finite-temperature effects in numerical-relativity simulations of binary neutron star mergers with microphysical equations of state and neutrino transport in which we vary the effective nucleon masses in a controlled way. We find that, as the specific heat is increased, the merger remnants become colder and more compact due to the reduced thermal pressure support. Using a full Bayesian analysis, we demonstrate that this effect will be measurable in the postmerger gravitational wave signal with next-generation observatories at signal-to-noise ratios of 15.

  1. From Multimessenger Inference to Simulations: A Ranked Ensemble of Finite-Temperature Equations of State

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper constructs a 12-member ensemble of finite-temperature neutron star equations of state that spans the posterior from multimessenger and nuclear-physics constraints and releases simulation-ready tables.

  2. The error budget of binary neutron star merger simulations for configurations with high spin

    gr-qc 2025-06 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    For highly spinning (chi=0.5) binary neutron stars, evolution code choice is the largest numerical waveform error, and current analytical models disagree with numerical relativity beyond that error after the stars touch.

  3. Coherent State Path Integral Reveals Unexpected Vacuum Structure in Thermal Field Theory

    hep-th 2025-07 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A coherent-state derivation of the thermal partition function yields extra vacuum and mass-coupling terms that the authors claim are novel, though these terms reflect the chosen operator ordering.
