type ia supernovae (sne ia) play a prominent role in understanding the evolution of the universe. they are thought to be thermonuclear explosions of mass-accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (co wds) in binaries, although the mass donors of the accreting wds are still not well determined. in this article, i review rece...

the kbc void is a local underdensity with the observed relative density contrast δ ≡ 1 - ρ/ρ0 = 0.46 ± 0.06 between 40 and 300 mpc around the local group. if mass is conserved in the universe, such a void could explain the 5.3σ hubble tension. however, the mxxl simulation shows that the kbc void causes 6.04σ tension wi...

ridged, orthorhombic two-dimensional atomic crystals with a bulk {\em pnma} structure such as black phosphorus and monochalcogenide monolayers are an exciting and novel material platform for a host of applications. key to their crystallinity, monolayers of these materials have a four-fold degenerate structural ground s...
two-dimensional disorder in black phosphorus and monochalcogenide monolayers
there is growing observational evidence for dwarf galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (agn), including hints of agn-driven outflows in dwarfs. however, in the common theoretical model of galaxy formation, efficient supernova (sn) feedback is the tool of choice for regulating star formation in the low-mass regime. i...
two can play at that game: constraining the role of supernova and agn feedback in dwarf galaxies with cosmological zoom-in simulations
we present details on the observing strategy, data-processing techniques, and spectroscopic targeting algorithms for the first three years of operation for the dark energy survey supernova program (des-sn). this five-year program using the dark energy camera mounted on the 4 m blanco telescope in chile was designed to ...
first cosmology results using supernovae ia from the dark energy survey: survey overview, performance, and supernova spectroscopy
the role of cosmic rays generated by supernovae and young stars has very recently begun to receive significant attention in studies of galaxy formation and evolution due to the realization that cosmic rays can efficiently accelerate galactic winds. microscopic cosmic-ray transport processes are fundamental for determin...
impact of cosmic-ray transport on galactic winds
fast flavor conversions of supernova neutrinos, possible near the neutrinosphere, depends on an interesting interplay of collisions and neutrino oscillations. contrary to naïve expectations, the rate of self-induced neutrino oscillations, due to neutrino-neutrino forward scattering, comfortably exceeds the rate of coll...
collisional triggering of fast flavor conversions of supernova neutrinos
we present an exquisite 30 minute cadence kepler (k2) light curve of the type ia supernova (sn ia) 2018oh (asassn-18bt), starting weeks before explosion, covering the moment of explosion and the subsequent rise, and continuing past peak brightness. these data are supplemented by multi-color panoramic survey telescope (...
k2 observations of sn 2018oh reveal a two-component rising light curve for a type ia supernova
we present the results of a multiwavelength campaign targeting frb 20201124a, the third closest repeating fast radio burst (frb), which was recently localized in a nearby (z = 0.0978) galaxy. deep vla observations led to the detection of quiescent radio emission, which was also marginally visible in x-rays with chandra...
the fast radio burst frb 20201124a in a star-forming region: constraints to the progenitor and multiwavelength counterparts
automated classification of supernovae (sne) based on optical photometric light-curve information is essential in the upcoming era of wide-field time domain surveys, such as the legacy survey of space and time (lsst) conducted by the rubin observatory. photometric classification can enable real-time identification of i...
