We investigate the role of mass ratio reversal (MRR), in which the initially less massive star in a binary forms the more massive compact object, in shaping the astrophysical binary black hole (BBH) merger rate and mass distribution…

A rapid estimate of gravitational-wave (GW) detectability associated with astronomical transients is crucial for optimizing multi-messenger follow-up strategies and for constraining the physical origin of the transient itself. We introduce…

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) play an important role throughout astrophysics, most notably as standardizable cosmological candles. Yet, their stellar progenitors and explosion mechanism remain areas of active investigation. For decades, the…

PSR J1905+0154A is a binary millisecond pulsar located in the globular cluster (GC) NGC 6749. It was discovered in 2004 in a search for pulsars in GCs carried out with the Arecibo 305-m radio telescope. The pulsar has a spin period of 3.2…

The crust of a neutron star (NS) provides a unique laboratory for studying matter under extreme density and magnetic field conditions that cannot be realized in terrestrial experiments. However, direct observational constraints on its…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are generally classified as Type~I GRBs, which originate from compact binary mergers, and Type~II GRBs, which originate from massive collapsars. The traditional correspondence between short--Type~I GRBs and…

We present the results from rapid-response 1.3 mm observations of GRB 260127A using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). SMA arrived on-source 12.6 minutes after the initial detection by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, representing the…

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a recently discovered class of highly variable X-ray bursts originating in galactic nuclei. These high-amplitude bursts exhibit periodicity ranging from tens of minutes to several days. QPEs are also…

We explore the interpretation that the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux is dominated by a single standard candle-like source class. Since recent observations favor a broken power law with a spectral break around 30 TeV, we postulate that…

High-density and high-Z crystals are key elements of most space-borne $\gamma$-ray telescopes operating at gigaelectronvolt energies (such as Fermi-LAT). The lattice structure is usually neglected in the development of a crystalline…

Neutrino flavor evolution in dense astrophysical environments is inherently nonlinear and sensitive to many-body (MB) quantum effects beyond the mean-field (MF) approximation. Existing MB studies are constrained by small system sizes,…

In a tidal disruption event (TDE), a star is disrupted by the tidal field of a massive black hole, creating a debris stream that returns to the black hole, forms an accretion flow, and powers a luminous flare. Over the last few decades,…

Pair-instability supernovae (PISN) will not leave compact remnants and hence yield a mass gap of the black holes. Though a transition point at $\approx 46M_\odot$, separating low- and high-spin black hole populations and interpreted as…

The neutrino fast flavor instability dominates the evolution of neutrino flavor within the engines of core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. However, theoretical models of neutrino flavor change that include many-body quantum…

The acceleration mechanisms of cosmic rays (CR) in supernova remnants (SNRs) and their associated compact central objects (CCOs) remain an open question in high-energy astrophysics. In this study, we perform a modeling of CR transport and…

Giant pulses are rare bright radio bursts that occur in restricted ranges of pulsar rotational phase. Here we report giant pulses from PSR B0355+54, a pulsar with spin period ~0.156 s. Using 7.97 hours of observations centred at 1.46 GHz,…

Astrometry - the precise measurement of celestial positions and motions - is entering the micro-arcsecond ($\mu$as) era at multiple wavelengths, enabling new insights on compact objects across all mass scales. Here we review how…

The unexpected localization of the repeating FRB 20200120E to a globular cluster challenges conventional FRB models based on magnetars formed via core collapse. One alternative model suggests that FRB 20200120E is a millisecond pulsar (MSP)…

Fanaroff-Riley type 0 (FR0) radio galaxies host anomalously compact jets whose disruption mechanism and high-energy emission remain poorly understood. We combine three-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamical (RHD) simulations with broadband…

The observational determination of the lower limit of neutron star masses is crucial for the physics of core-collapse supernovae. In this light, SMC X-1 is an important object because of its estimated pulsar mass lying near or potentially…
