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 […]

Impact of the PSR J0740+6620 radius constraint on the properties of high-density matter
X-ray pulse profile modeling of PSR J0740+6620, the most massive known pulsar, by the NICER and XMM-Newton observatories recently led to a measurement of its radius. We investigate this measurement’s […]
