we explore the impact of small-scale flavor conversions of neutrinos, the so-called fast flavor conversions (ffcs), on the dynamical evolution and neutrino emission of core-collapse supernovae (ccsne). in order to do that, we implement ffcs in the spherically symmetric (1d) ccsn simulations of a 20 m⊙ progenitor model ...
fast neutrino flavor conversion in core-collapse supernovae: a parametric study in 1d models
fast-pairwise collective neutrino oscillation represents a key uncertainty in the theory of core-collapse supernova (ccsn). despite the potentially significant impact on ccsn dynamics, it is usually neglected in numerical models of ccsn because of the formidable technical difficulties of self-consistently incorporating...

evolutionary models have shown the substantial effect that strong mass-loss rates ( $\dot{m}$ s) can have on the fate of massive stars. red supergiant (rsg) mass-loss is poorly understood theoretically, and so stellar models rely on purely empirical $\dot{m}$ -luminosity relations to calculate evolution. empirical pres...

gravitational waves (gws) from binary black hole (bbh) mergers provide a new probe of massive-star evolution and the formation channels of binary compact objects. by coupling the growing sample of bbh systems with population synthesis models, we can begin to constrain the parameters of such models and glean unprecedent...
constraining formation models of binary black holes with gravitational-wave observations
improving the thermoelectric efficiency is one of the greatest challenges in materials science. the recent discovery of excellent thermoelectric performance in simple orthorhombic snse crystal offers new promise in this prospect [zhao et al. nature 508, 373 (2014)]. by calculating the thermoelectric properties of ortho...
high-efficient thermoelectric materials: the case of orthorhombic iv-vi compounds
we introduce a new relativistic astrophysics code, spectre, that combines a discontinuous galerkin method with a task-based parallelism model. spectre's goal is to achieve more accurate solutions for challenging relativistic astrophysics problems such as core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers. the rob...
spectre: a task-based discontinuous galerkin code for relativistic astrophysics
this paper describes the design and implementation of our new multigroup, multidimensional radiation hydrodynamics code fornax and provides a suite of code tests to validate its application in a wide range of physical regimes. instead of focusing exclusively on tests of neutrino radiation hydrodynamics relevant to the ...
fornax: a flexible code for multiphysics astrophysical simulations
the superluminous supernova host galaxies survey aims to provide strong new constraints on the progenitors of superluminous supernovae (slsne) by understanding the relationship to their host galaxies. we present the photometric properties of 53 h-poor and 16 h-rich slsn host galaxies out to z ∼ 4. we model their spectr...
cosmic evolution and metal aversion in superluminous supernova host galaxies
the electromagnetic observations of gw170817 were able to dramatically increase our understanding of neutron star mergers beyond what we learned from gravitational waves alone. these observations provided insight on all aspects of the merger from the nature of the gamma-ray burst to the characteristics of the ejected m...
a line-binned treatment of opacities for the spectra and light curves from neutron star mergers
we present optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared imaging of the host galaxy of frb 121102 with the gemini north telescope, the hubble space telescope, and the spitzer space telescope. the frb 121102 host galaxy is resolved, revealing a bright star-forming region located in the outskirts of the irregular, low-metalli...
frb 121102 is coincident with a star-forming region in its host galaxy
recent studies suggest spectroscopic differences explain a fraction of the variation in type ia supernova (sn ia) luminosities after light-curve/color standardization. in this work, (i) we empirically characterize the variations of standardized sn ia luminosities, and (ii) we use a spectroscopically inferred parameter,...
