The coalescence of a neutron star binary system is an ideal situation for studying extremely dense and hot matter. It is possible that exotic species like hyperons exist in these extreme conditions. In this talk, I will discuss how the appearance of hyperons affects the equation of state and, in turn, what kind of signatures they can leave in the observables that are measured from astrophysical phenomena. I will pay close attention to the signatures originating from the thermal behavior of hyperons in matter. The thermal pressure significantly decreases when hyperons are present. As a result, in comparison to purely nucleonic EoS models, this effect causes a characteristic increase of the dominant postmerger gravitational-wave frequency by as much as 150 Hz.
