Three-dimensional hydrodynamical, Newtonian calculations of the coalescence of equal-mass binary neutron stars are performed, including a physical high-density equation of state and a treatment of the neutrino emission of the heated matter. The total neutrino luminosity climbs to a maximum value of 1--$1.5cdot 10^{53}$~erg/s of which 90--95% originate from the toroidal gas cloud surrounding the very dense core formed after the merging. When the neutrino luminosities are highest, $ ubar u$-annihilation deposits about 0.2--0.3% of the emitted neutrino energy in the immediate neighborhood of the merger, and the maximum integral energy deposition rate is 3--$4cdot 10^{50}$~erg/s. Since the $3,M_{odot}$ core of the merged object will most likely collapse into a black hole within milliseconds, the energy that can be pumped into a pair-photon fireball is insufficient by a factor of about 1000 to explain $gamma$-ray bursts at cosmological distances with an energy of the order of $10^{51}/(4pi)$~erg/steradian. Analytical estimates show that the additional energy provided by the annihilation of $ ubar u$ pairs emitted from a possible accretion torus of $sim 0.1,M_{odot}$ around the central black hole is still more than a factor of 10 too small, unless focussing of the fireball into a jet-like expansion plays an important role. About $10^{-4}$--$10^{-3}$~$M_odot$ of material lost during the neutron star merging and swept out from the system in a neutrino-driven wind might be a site for nucleosythesis. Aspects of a possible r-processing in these ejecta are discussed.
(Abridged) In this paper we present a compilation of results from our most advanced neutron star merger simulations, including a description of the employed numerical procedures and a more complete overview over a large number of computed models. The
Three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations are presented for the direct head-on or off-center collision of two neutron stars, employing a basically Newtonian PPM code but including the emission of gravitational waves and their back-reaction on the
LOFAR, the Low Frequency Array, is an innovative new radio telescope currently under construction in the Netherlands. With its continuous monitoring of the radio sky we expect LOFAR will detect many new transient events, including GRB afterglows and
Neutrino emissivities in a neutron star are computed for the neutrino bremsstrahlung process. In the first part the electro-weak nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung is calculated in free space in terms of a on-shell $T$-matrix using a generalized Low ener
The idea that gamma-ray bursts might be a kind of phenomena associated with neutron star kicks was first proposed by Dar & Plaga (1999). Here we study this mechanism in more detail and point out that the neutron star should be a high speed one (with
