Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright (Jansky-level) and short-duration ($\sim 1$ ms) flashes of extragalactic origin. Observations of single events have now been complemented by large-area surveys, delivering FRB catalogues and enabling the…
Cluster analysis is a widely applied machine learning technique to understand the existing patterns in the population of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), in order to explore their physical sources. In the present scenario, the number of clusters…
Many experimental studies have reported variations in interfacial tension. Isolating all the geometric and fluid material parameters and varying the interfacial tension can be useful to check their influence. Numerical investigations using…
This paper develops a reduced-order framework for modelling the two-way coupling between gravity waves and turbulent wakes in large-scale wind farms. Linearising the non-hydrostatic Boussinesq equations and introducing simplifications…
The most promising candidate for short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is the merger of two neutron stars (NSs), which produces kilonovae (KNe) in the aftermath. This merging can result in a fast-spinning, highly magnetic NS, known as a…
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are a rare class of transients with peak luminosities 10-100 times greater than those of standard core-collapse supernovae (SNe). The mechanisms powering their extreme brightness remain debated, with…
Little red dots (LRDs) are compact high-redshift objects, newly discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope. Although LRDs exhibit broad Balmer emission lines suggestive of the presence of active galactic nuclei (AGN), their spectral…
The simplified lattice Boltzmann method (SLBM) is a recent development in the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) community, addressing the intrinsic limitations of the traditional LBM by directly evolving macroscopic quantities and maintaining…
Long-term observations indicate that the relative intensity of cosmic-ray anisotropy remains below $0.1\%$ for energies less than $\sim 1$ PeV. Measuring such faint signals poses a significant challenge in data analysis, requiring careful…
As gravitational wave (GW) catalogs continue to expand, exhaustive Bayesian comparisons of candidate event pairs become increasingly computationally expensive, which motivates the development of fast prescreening methods for strongly lensed…
Super-Eddington accretion onto compact objects is expected to produce optically thick outflows with a funnel-shaped cavity that may collimate the emission. At inclinations higher than the grazing angle of the funnel, the central source is…
O-C timing analysis is a useful diagnostic tool for quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs), but their interpretation depends sensitively on the integer cycle number assigned to each eruption. In this note, we show that even a small mismatch in the…
The diffuse $\gamma$-ray emission from short-lived radioactive $^{26}$Al and $^{60}$Fe provides a direct probe of ongoing nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. However, theoretical models have long struggled to reproduce the observed…
We present extensive, well-sampled multiwavelength photometric and low-resolution optical spectroscopic observations of the low-luminosity Type IIP supernova SN 2024abfl. SN 2024abfl is found to be at the faintest end of Type IIP supernovae…
Transport at small scales is classically understood within an equilibrium framework, where dispersion theory successfully describes shear-enhanced diffusion for passive particles in the continuum limit. However, as most bacteria can move on…
This paper is associated with a poster winner of a 2025 American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics (DFD) Gallery of Fluid Motion Award for work presented at the DFD Gallery of Fluid Motion. The original poster is available…
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are among the primary targets of future space-based gravitational-wave observatories, such as LISA, TianQin, and Taiji. Active galactic nucleus (AGN) disks provide a gas-rich environment in which…
Closure-level accuracy in neural kinetic shock solvers is not guaranteed by accurate density, velocity and temperature profiles, because the relevant observables are velocity-weighted projections of the nonequilibrium distribution. We study…
Neutron star mergers are amongst the most promising sources for the joint detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic signals. They are also potential sites for the production of r-process elements and probes of the equation of…
The polarimetry of recent pulsar observations has provided a wealth of observational data with which to test physical theories of emission mechanisms, radiative transfer and even theories that extend beyond the Standard Model. In this work,…
