Updated universal relations for tidal deformabilities of neutron stars from phenomenological equations of state
Equation of state (EOS) insensitive relations, so-called universal relations, between the neutron star (NS) compactness, its multipolar tidal deformability coefficients, and between the tidal parameters for binary systems are essential […]

AT2017gfo: Bayesian inference and model selection of multi-component kilonovae and constraints on the neutron star equation of state
The joint detection of the gravitational wave GW170817, of the short $\gamma$-ray burst GRB170817A and of the kilonova AT2017gfo, generated by the the binary neutron star merger observed on August […]

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 […]
