  r-Process Radioisotopes from Near-Earth Supernovae and Kilonovae

  Near-Earth explosive events are inevitable. Supernovae (SN) explode in our Milky Way roughly every ∼ 30 year (yr) on average. This suggests that supernova explosions within 100 pc of Earth are expected to have occurred every few Myr.

  Implementation of Monte-Carlo transport in the general relativistic SpEC code

  Neutrino transport and neutrino-matter interactions are known to play an important role in the evolution of neutron star mergers, and of their post-merger remnants. Neutrinos cool remnants, drive post-merger winds, […]

  Electromagnetic Signatures from the Tidal Tail of a Black Hole – Neutron Star Merger

  Black hole – neutron star (BH-NS) mergers are a major target for ground-based gravitational wave (GW) observatories. A merger can also produce an electromagnetic counterpart (a kilonova) if it ejects […]

  SN1987A still shining: A Hint for Pseudo-Dirac Neutrinos

  Ever since the discovery of neutrinos, one question has daunted us, are neutrinos their own antiparticles? One remarkable possibility is that neutrinos have a pseudo-Dirac nature, truly Majorana neutrinos which […]
