Probing Neutron Stars’ Composition with g-mode Oscillations
What can we learn from observing the “ringing” (oscillation modes) of astrophysical objects? Similar to how seismologists study the density profile and chemical constituents of the Earth using earthquakes, stellar oscillation […]

Where they split, they entangle: A (collective) neutrino story
Neutrinos do not experience strong or electromagnetic interactions, and are therefore by far the most feebly interacting among all the known particles in the universe. Nevertheless, there are situations where […]

Neutron Star Wars: The Strong Force Awakens
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, two neutron stars entered a collision course. Locked in an orbit around each other for millions of years, their separation became shorter as they revolved faster [...]

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. In its third observing run, the GW detector network (advance LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA) […]

r-Process Radioisotopes from Near-Earth Supernovae and Kilonovae
Near-Earth explosive events are inevitable. Supernovae (SN) explode in our Milky Way roughly every ∼ 30 year (yr) on average. This suggests that supernova explosions within 100 pc of Earth are expected to have occurred every few Myr.
