We present a new calculation of the intergalactic gamma-ray absorption coefficient as a function of both energy and redshift. In reexamining this problem, we make use of a new, empirically based calculation (as opposed to previous model…

The observation of a radioactively powered kilonova AT~2017gfo associated with the gravitational wave-event GW170817 from binary neutron star merger proves that these events are ideal sites for the production of heavy $r$-process elements.…
The process of long-term stable mass transfer (or stripping) in a close neutron star binary system is possible at a sufficiently large initial asymmetry of the component masses. At the final stage of the evolution of such systems, the…
The vast majority of star-forming galaxies are surrounded by large reservoirs of gas ejected from the interstellar medium. Ultraviolet absorption and emission lines represent powerful diagnostics to constrain the cool phase of these…
Near-field heat transfer between two closely spaced radiating media can exceed in orders radiation through the interface of a single black body. This effect is caused by exponentially decaying (evanescent) waves which form the photon tunnel…
It is expected that high energy gamma-rays, if injected relatively close to the massive stars in binary systems LS 5039 and LSI 61 3003, should be strongly absorbed, initiating inverse Compton $e^\pm$ pair cascades in the anisotropic…
The acceleration times of the highest-energy particles which emit gamma-rays in young and middle-age SNRs are comparable with SNR age. If the number of particles starting acceleration was varying during early times after the supernova…

Analytical and numerical solutions are obtained for the equation of radiative transfer in ultra-relativistic opaque jets. The solution describes the initial trapping of radiation, its adiabatic cooling, and the transition to transparency.…
Accurate accounting of particle number and 4-momentum in radiative transfer may be facilitated by the use of transport equations that allow transparent conversion between volume and surface integrals in both spacetime and momentum space.…
In this letter we begin the study of visible dark sector signals coming from binary neutron star mergers. We focus on dark photons emitted in the 10 ms - 1 s after the merger, and show how they can lead to bright transient gamma-ray…
We present a scenario (SupraNova) for the formation of GRBs occurring when a supramassive neutron star (SMNS) loses so much angular momentum that centrifugal support against self--gravity becomes impossible, and the star implodes to a black…
In this paper, wireless power transfer by means of electromagnetic radiation is investigated. Formulas are derived for the efficiency of the power transfer in free space, in the presence of reflecting surfaces, and within enclosed spaces.…
We calculate the time- and energy-dependent opacity of high-energy gamma-rays attenuated by pair production interaction with accretion-flare photons that are scattered by gas and dust surrounding thenuclei of active galaxies. We show that…
When transmitting a signal over a large distance it is more efficient to send a brief beamed signal than a continuous omni-directional transmission but this requires that the receiver knows where and when to look for the transmission. For…
Gamma-ray absorption due to gamma-gamma-pair creation on cosmological scales depends on the line-of-sight integral of the evolving density of low-energy photons in the Universe, i.e. on the history of the diffuse, isotropic radiation field.…
