  Constraints on the maximum mass of neutron stars with a quark core from GW170817 and NICER PSR J0030+0451 data

  We perform a Bayesian analysis of the maximum mass $M_{\rm TOV}$ of neutron stars with a quark core, incorporating the observational data from tidal deformability of the GW170817 binary neutron […]

  Using Software to Simulate Neutrino Flavor Instability

  A fantastic amount of neutrinos are emitted during cataclysmic astrophysical explosions like core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. In both cases, the emitted neutrinos drive outflows that end up enriching […]

  Boosted dark matter from diffuse supernova neutrinos

  The XENON collaboration recently reported an excess of electron recoil events in the low energy region with a significance of around $3.3\sigma$. An explanation of this excess in terms of […]

  Neutron stars and the secret lives of quarks

  The discovery of non-diffuse sources of gravitational waves through compact-object mergers opens new prospects for the study of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this Letter, we consider the implications […]

  Future Searches for Light Sterile Neutrinos at Nuclear Reactors

  We study the optimization of a green-field, two-baseline reactor experiment with respect to the sensitivity for electron antineutrino disappearance in search of a light sterile neutrino. We consider both commercial […]
