Large-scale Evolution of Seconds-long Relativistic Jets from Black Hole–Neutron Star Mergers

Large-scale Evolution of Seconds-long Relativistic Jets from Black Hole–Neutron Star Mergers

We present the first numerical simulations that track the evolution of a black hole–neutron star (BH–NS) merger from premerger to r ≳ 10 ^11 cm. The disk that forms after a merger of mass ratio q = 2 ejects massive disk winds (3–5 × 10 ^−2 M _⊙ ). We introduce various postmerger magnetic configurati...
