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.

The Secret Lives of Quarks: Hints of New Forces in Neutron Stars
At the ends of their lives, heavy stars can no longer support their own weight, which can result in fantastically energetic explosions, i.e., supernovae. When the stardust settles, the heaviest […]

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 […]

Studying the Impact of Dark Photon Emission on Massive Star Evolution
Dark matter represents more than 80% of the matter density of the universe and remains one of the biggest mysteries in physics. In many models currently under investigation, it could […]

Investigating neutrino collective flavor oscillations with machine learning
During the explosion of a massive dying star — a supernova — millions of tiny subatomic particles called neutrinos are emitted. These neutrinos are emitted from deep inside the star, […]
