Simultaneous Fitting of Neutron Star Structure and Cooling Data
Using a model for the equation of state and composition of dense matter and the magnitude of singlet proton superconductivity and triplet neutron superfluidity, we perform the first simultaneous fit […]

Can magnetic fields (de)stabilize twin stars?
Sharp phase transitions allow for the existence of a third family of stable compact stars, twin stars. In this work, we investigate for the first time the role of strong […]

Entanglement and collective flavor oscillations in a dense neutrino gas
We investigate the importance of going beyond the mean-field approximation in the dynamics of collective neutrino oscillations. To expand our understanding of the coherent neutrino oscillation problem, we apply concepts […]

Accessible Lepton-Number-Violating Models and Negligible Neutrino Masses
Lepton-number violation (LNV), in general, implies nonzero Majorana masses for the Standard Model neutrinos. Since neutrino masses are very small, for generic candidate models of the physics responsible for LNV, […]

Rate of dark photon emission from electron positron annihilation in massive stars
We calculate the rate of production of dark photons from electron-positron pair annihilation in hot and dense matter characteristic of supernova progenitors. Given the non-linear dependence of the emission rate […]
