in core-collapse supernovae, the neutrino density is so large that neutrino flavor instabilities, leading to flavor conversion, can be triggered by the forward scattering of neutrinos among each other, if a crossing between the angular distributions of electron neutrino and antineutrinos exists (fast instability) or in...
do neutrinos become flavor unstable due to collisions with matter in the supernova decoupling region?
star-forming galaxies are considered to be the leading candidate sources dominating cosmic reionization at z\gt 7: the search for analogs at moderate redshift showing lyman continuum (lyc) leakage is currently an active line of research. we have observed a star-forming galaxy at z = 3.2 with hubble/wfc3 in the f336w fi...

the growth of a supermassive black hole (bh) is determined by how much gas the host galaxy is able to feed it, which in turn is controlled by the cosmic environment, through galaxy mergers and accretion of cosmic flows that time how galaxies obtain their gas, and also by internal processes in the galaxy, such as star f...

we make a strong case that the fast neutrino-flavor conversion, one of the collective flavor oscillation modes, commonly occurs in core-collapse supernovae (ccsns). it is confirmed in the numerical data obtained in realistic simulations of ccsns, but the argument is much more generic and applicable universally: the coh...

supernovae (sne) embedded in dense circumstellar material (csm) may show prominent emission lines in their early-time spectra (≤10 days after the explosion), owing to recombination of the csm ionized by the shock-breakout flash. from such spectra (“flash spectroscopy”), we can measure various physical properties of the...

local resolution of the hubble tension: the impact of screened fifth forces on the cosmic distance ladder
we place observational constraints on the galileon ghost condensate model, a dark energy proposal in cubic-order horndeski theories consistent with the gravitational-wave event gw170817. the model extends the covariant galileon by taking an additional higher-order field derivative x2 into account. this allows for the d...
cosmological data favor galileon ghost condensate over λ cdm
we present very early, high-cadence photometric observations of the nearby type ia sn 2017cbv. the light curve is unique in that it has a blue bump during the first five days of observations in the u, b, and g bands, which is clearly resolved given our photometric cadence of 5.7 hr during that time span. we model the l...
early blue excess from the type ia supernova 2017cbv and implications for its progenitor
this paper introduces a new approach to reconstruct cosmological functions using artificial neural networks based on observational measurements with minimal theoretical and statistical assumptions. by using neural networks, we can generate computational models of observational datasets, and then we compare them with th...
neural network reconstructions for the hubble parameter, growth rate and distance modulus
most massive stars, the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae, are in close binary systems and may interact with their companion through mass transfer or merging. we undertake a population synthesis study to compute the delay-time distribution of core-collapse supernovae, that is, the supernova rate versus time follo...
delay-time distribution of core-collapse supernovae with late events resulting from binary interaction
we present the gravitational waveforms computed in ab initio two-dimensional core collapse supernova models evolved with the chimera code for progenitor masses between 12 and 25 m⊙ . all models employ multifrequency neutrino transport in the ray-by-ray approximation, state-of-the-art weak interaction physics, relativis...
gravitational wave signatures of ab initio two-dimensional core collapse supernova explosion models for 12 -25 m⊙ stars
the hot (>106 k) phase of the circumgalactic medium (cgm) contains a large fraction of baryons in galaxies. it also retains signatures of the processes that shaped the galaxies, such as feedback from active galactic nuclei and supernovae, and offers a uniquely powerful way to constrain theoretical models of feedback...
testing galaxy feedback models with resolved x-ray profiles of the hot circumgalactic medium
determining the differential-rotation law of compact stellar objects produced in binary neutron stars mergers or core-collapse supernovae is an old problem in relativistic astrophysics. addressing this problem is important because it impacts directly on the maximum mass these objects can attain and, hence, on the thres...
rotational properties of hypermassive neutron stars from binary mergers
the combination of multiple observational probes has long been advocated as a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, in particular dark energy. the dark energy survey has measured 207 spectroscopically confirmed type ia supernova light curves, the baryon acoustic oscillation feature, weak gravitationa...
cosmological constraints from multiple probes in the dark energy survey
the hypothetical massive dark photon (γ‧) which has kinetic mixing with the sm photon can decay electromagnetically to e+e- pairs if its mass m exceeds 2me, and otherwise into three sm photons. these decays yield cosmological and supernovae associated signatures. we briefly discuss these signatures, particularly in con...
