On Symmetries of Hamiltonians Describing Systems with Arbitrary Spins
We consider systems where dynamical variables are the generators of the SU(2) group. A subset of these Hamiltonians is exactly solvable using the Bethe ansatz techniques. We show that Bethe […]

Comparing Treatments of Weak Reactions with Nuclei in Simulations of Core-collapse Supernovae
We perform an extensive study of the influence of nuclear weak interactions on core-collapse supernovae, paying particular attention to consistency between nuclear abundances in the equation of state (EOS) and […]

Sensitivity of Carbon and Oxygen Yields to the Triple-Alpha Resonance in Massive Stars
Motivated by the possible existence of other universes, this paper considers the evolution of massive stars with different values for the fundamental constants. We focus on variations in the triple […]

Addressing the Majorana V. Dirac Question with Neutrino Decays
The Majorana versus Dirac nature of neutrinos remains an open question. This is due, in part, to the fact that virtually all the experimentally accessible neutrinos are ultra-relativistic. Noting that […]

Signatures for Quark Matter from Multi-messenger Observations
We review the prospects for detecting quark matter in neutron star cores. We survey the proposed signatures and emphasize the importance of data from neutron star mergers, which provide access […]
