Supermassive black hole mergers with spin-flips accelerate energetic particles through their precessing relativistic jets, producing high energy neutrinos and finally gravitational waves. In star formation massive stars come in pairs,…

The nature of the merger remnant of binary neutron star (BNS) remains an open question. From the theoretical point of view, one possible outcome is a supra-massive neutron star (SMNS), which is supported by rigid rotation and through its…

The gravitational-wave (GW) events, produced by the coalescence of binary neutron-stars (BNS), can be treated as the standard sirens to probe the expansion history of the Universe, if their redshifts could be determined from the…

Neutron star mergers can form a hypermassive neutron star (HMNS) remnant, which may be the engine of a short gamma ray burst (SGRB) before it collapses to a black hole, possibly several hundred milliseconds after the merger. During the…

Many stellar-mass Black Holes (sBHs) are expected to orbit supermassive black holes at galactic centers. For galaxies with Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), it is likely that the sBHs reside in a disk. We study the formation of sBH binaries via…

We propose a geometrical explanation for periodically and nonperiodically repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) under neutron star (NS)-companion systems. We suggest a constant critical binary separation, $r_{\rm c}$, within which the…
