Outline of Final Research Achievements |
LIGO (US) and KAGRA (Japan) will detect gravitational waves from merging black hole-neutron star binaries in the near future. Gravitational waves from them will enable us to know neutron star radii and the equation of state of high-density matter composing the neutron star. In this study, we develop a method to prepare initial conditions of circular black hole-neutron star binaries, which are necessary for numerical simulations to derive accurate gravitational waveforms to be compared with observed data. We successfully reduce the residual eccentricity to the 0.1% level for all of the cases we have tried so far with various parameters of binaries.
