  Gravitational Waves from Core-Collapse Supernovae

  We summarize our current understanding of gravitational wave emission from core-collapse supernovae. We review the established results from multi-dimensional simulations and, wherever possible, provide back-of-the-envelope calculations to highlight the underlying […]

  Screening Effects on Electron Capture Rates and Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis

  Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are believed to be a thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf, but the mass of their progenitors is still an open problem. In near-Chandrasekhar-mass (near-MCh) […]

  Mu-Tau Neutrinos: Influencing Fast Flavor Conversions in Supernovae

  Mysteries involving the interplay of tiny neutrinos and huge supernova explosions become more intriguing! During the cataclysmic explosion of a dying star — a supernova — millions of tiny subatomic […]

  Mu-Tau Neutrinos: Influencing Fast Flavor Conversions in Supernovae

  Neutrinos in a core-collapse supernova can undergo fast flavor conversions with a possible impact on the explosion mechanism and nucleosynthesis. We perform the first nonlinear simulations of fast conversions in […]

  Inference of neutrino flavor evolution through data assimilation and neural differential equations

  The evolution of neutrino flavor in dense environments such as core-collapse supernovae and binary compact object mergers constitutes an important and unsolved problem. Its solution has potential implications for the […]
