Description
We discuss the construction of quasi-equilibrium configurations of compact binaries, in which each component of the binary is modeled as a mixture of two ideal fluids. For the first fluid we use an ordinary baryonic-matter equation-of-state and for the second fluid, describing dark matter, we trial different dark-matter equation-of-state. We use the obtained quasi-equilibrium configurations as the basis for numerical relativity merger simulations and analyse the impact of the dark matter on the system's dynamical properties and the waveforms of the emitted gravitational radiation.
