Cosmic Collider Gravitational Waves sourced by Right-handed Neutrino production from Bubbles: Testing Seesaw, Leptogenesis and Dark Matter
arXiv:2601.02458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study a minimal type-I seesaw framework in which a first-order phase transition (FOPT), driven by a singlet scalar, produces right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) through bubble collisions, realizing a cosmic-scale collider that probes ultra-high energy scales. The resulting R...

Neutrino flavor instabilities in neutron star mergers with moment transport: slow, fast, and collisional modes
arXiv:2601.02461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Determining where, when, and how neutrino flavor oscillations must be included in large-scale simulations of hot and dense astrophysical environments is an enduring challenge that must be tackled to obtain accurate predictions. Using an angular moment-based linear stabili...

A Tale of Two Dust Disks in Our Milky
arXiv:2601.02724v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cosmic dust plays a vital role in stellar and galactic formation and evolution, but its three-dimensional structure in the Milky Way has remained unclear due to insufficient precise reddening and distance measurements. Although early studies typically adopted a single-dis...
