Description
This study investigates how hyperons influence neutron star mergers using a large sample of equations of state. Our systematic analysis reveals that the presence of thermal hyperons induces a characteristic increase (several percent) in the dominant post-merger gravitational wave frequency.
Additionally, the presence of hypernuclear matter leads to lower average temperatures and higher maximum densities during the post-merger phase. We also quantify the impact of strangeness on the threshold mass for collapse and ejected mass. These findings provide benchmarks for identifying strangeness in ultra-dense, hot matter through future multi-messenger observations.
