Abstract
Phys.Rev.D50:6247-6261,1994 We calculate the gravitational radiation produced by the merger and
coalescence of inspiraling binary neutron stars using 3-dimensional numerical
simulations. The stars are modeled as polytropes and start out in the
point-mass limit at wide separation. The hydrodynamic integration is performed
using smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) with Newtonian gravity, and the
gravitational radiation is calculated using the quadrupole approximation. We
have run several simulations, varying both the neutron star radius and the
equation of state. The resulting gravitational wave energy spectra $dE/df$ are
rich in information about the hydrodynamics of merger and coalescence. In
particular, our results demonstrate that detailed information on both $GM/Rc^2$
and the equation of state can in principle be extracted from the spectrum.
