Heavy sterile neutrinos can be produced in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), which are superb particle generators because of their high densities and temperatures. If the sterile neutrinos are long-lived, these may be produced inside the…
Dust is expected to form on a year timescale in core-collapse supernova (SN) ejecta. Its existence is revealed through an infrared brightening, an optical dimming, or a blue-red emission-line profile asymmetry. To investigate how the dust…
Extreme objects such as X-ray binaries, AGN, or $\gamma$-ray bursters harbor high energy plasmas whose properties are not well understood yet. Not only are they responsible of the hard X- and $\gamma$-ray emission we observe but also they…

The radioactive decay of unstable nuclei created in the rapid neutron capture process releases a large amount of $\gamma$-rays. When the ejecta are optically thick, these $\gamma$-rays may contribute to an associated kilonova. Once…
