Binary Neutron Star Mergers: Prospects for Multimessenger Observations

We evolve a binary system of two, equal-mass neutron stars in a quasi-circular orbit through and past merger. We consider different nuclear equations of state, which vary from soft to quite stiff, and allow for magnetization of the system and neutrino cooling via a leakage scheme. Here, I focus on potential observables, other than gravitational waves, produced mainly by the hot, strongly magnetized matter resulting from the merger and study their dependence on both the equation of state and the initial magnetic field strength.
