Global simulations of strongly magnetized remnant massive neutron stars formed in binary neutron star mergers

This article reports on the results of novel, extremely high-resolution simulations of the general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of neutron star mergers, focussing on angular momentum transport due to the MHD turbulence. The authors show that the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at merger amplifies the magnetic energy to $\ensuremath{\sim}1%$ of the thermal energy.
