Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescopes detected variable very... | astro-ph_HE |
Multi-messenger searches via IceCube's high-energy neutrinos and
gravitational-wave detections of LIGO/Virgo: We summarize initial results for high-energy neutrino counterpart searches
coinciding with gravitational-wave events in LIGO/Virgo's GWTC-2 catalog using
IceCube's neutrino triggers. We did not find any stati... | astro-ph_HE |
Analysis of a State Changing Supersoft X-ray Source in M31: We report on observations of a luminous supersoft X-ray source (SSS) in M31,
r1-25, that has exhibited spectral changes to harder X-ray states. We document
these spectral changes. In addition, we show that they have important
implications for modeling the sour... | astro-ph_HE |
Primordial Black Holes having Gravitomagnetic Monopole: A primordial black hole (PBH) is thought to be made of the regular matter or
ordinary mass ($M$) only, and hence could have already been decayed due to the
Hawking radiation if its initial ordinary mass were $\lesssim 5 \times 10^{11}$
kg. Here, we study the role ... | astro-ph_HE |
Discovery and Follow-up of ASASSN-23bd (AT 2023clx): The Lowest Redshift
and Least Luminous Tidal Disruption Event To Date: We report the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae discovery of the tidal
disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-23bd (AT 2023clx) in NGC 3799, a LINER galaxy
with no evidence of strong AGN activity o... | astro-ph_HE |
Estimating the maximum gravitational mass of nonrotating neutron stars
from the GW170817/GRB 170817A/AT2017gfo observation: Assuming that the differential rotation of the massive neutron star (NS)
formed in the double NS (DNS) mergers has been effectively terminated by the
magnetic braking and a uniform rotation has ... | astro-ph_HE |
The coalescence rates of double black holes: We present the summary of the recent investigations of double black hole
binaries in context of their formation and merger rates. In particular we
discuss the spectrum of black hole masses, the formation scenarios in the local
Universe and the estimates of detection rates fo... | astro-ph_HE |
Patterns in the multi-wavelength behavior of candidate neutrino blazars: Motivated by the identification of the blazar TXS 0506+056 as the first
promising high-energy neutrino counterpart candidate, we search for additional
neutrino blazars candidates among the Fermi-LAT detected blazars.
We investigate the multi-wav... | astro-ph_HE |
Analysis of the duration$-$hardness ratio plane of gamma-ray bursts with
skewed distributions: It was recently shown that the $T_{90}-H_{32}$ distributions of gamma-ray
bursts from CGRO/BATSE and Fermi/GBM are well described by a mixture of only
two skewed components, making the presumed third, intermediate class
unn... | astro-ph_HE |
