Abstract
This paper reports on twelve new simulations of unequal mass neutron star mergers and study the resulting neutrino and matter emission. This is a very comprehensive analysis of possible merger scenarios and could be very useful for nucleosynthesis on the theoretical side and for motivating the detection of neutrinos from mergers on the experimental side.
