The Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA) is a proposed gravitational-wave project aiming to take full advantage of the Moon's environment to access the deci-Hz band and detect intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) binaries of mass $\sim…

In this study, we report partly simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR observations of the bursting, dipping low mass X-ray binary, 4U 1323-62 obtained in 2024. 4U 1323-62 is one of the well-known persistent bursters, with bursts occurring…

Although well studied, our understanding of the mass ejection mechanisms of cataclysmic variables remains incomplete. Recent work suggests that binary interaction plays an important role in driving and shaping this mass ejection and may…

The advent of multi-messenger astronomy has provided abundant information for understanding the acceleration and particle-production mechanisms of cosmic rays. In this work, we present a unified study of cosmic gamma-ray and neutrino…

The Lighthouse pulsar (PSR J1101$-$6101) sports a bright X-ray trail and filament. The synchrotron emission from both structures is expected to be polarized, with electric vector position angle (EVPA) perpendicular to the magnetic field…

It is difficult to implement numerical simulations on a region extending from the vicinity of a black hole to the Bondi radius. Most previous numerical simulations have primarily concentrated on the region close to the black hole. They…

Matter ejected from the magnetar crust during giant flares (GFs) may undergo $r$-process nucleosynthesis, producing short-lived optical transients termed "novae breves". Although intrinsically much fainter than kilonovae from compact binary…

The dense Galactic Center environment is expected to host compact binary inspirals detectable by future space-borne gravitational wave (GW) observatories (e.g., LISA, TianQin, Taiji) in the millihertz band. Aided by information from these…

IceCube observations point to Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) as promising contributors to the observed astrophysical neutrino flux. Close to the central black hole, protons can be accelerated through magnetic reconnection to very high…

Spectroscopic observations of the kilonova AT 2017gfo provide a unique opportunity to identify signatures from individual heavy elements freshly synthesised via the r-process, the nucleosynthetic channel responsible for producing $\sim$half…

We present the first optical ($BVR$) polarimetric observations of Swift J1727.8$-$1613 during its 2023--2024 outburst. Observations were performed during the X-ray hard-to-soft state transition, the soft state and the decaying hard state of…

We summarize recent results of the observations of high (1 TeV-100 PeV) and ultrahigh ($\geq 100$ PeV) energy neutrinos, including the detection of a diffuse cosmic high-energy neutrino background, the identification of the first neutrino…

When a supernova remnant (SNR) interacts with the dense material of an interstellar cloud, its shock wave decelerates rapidly, and the post-shock temperature drops to levels that permit efficient cooling of the shocked plasma. At this…

Pulse-profile modeling (PPM) of thermal X-ray emission from rotation-powered millisecond pulsars enables simultaneous constraints on the mass $M$, radius $R$, and hence the equation of state of cold, dense matter. However, Bayesian PPM has…

Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are valuable probes of cosmic star formation reaching back into the epoch of reionization, and a large dataset with known redshifts ($z$) is an important ingredient for these studies. Usually, $z$ is measured using…

Non-jetted AGN exhibit hard X-ray emission with a power law spectrum above $\sim$2 keV, which is thought to be produced through Comptonization of soft photons by electrons and positrons (pairs) in the vicinity of the black hole. The origin…

Swift J174610.4-290018 is a peculiar transient X-ray source in the Galactic center. First detected by Swift at the onset of an outburst in February 2024, it has since been observed intentionally and serendipitously by multiple X-ray…

The astrophysics of Long GRB (LGRB) progenitors as well as possible cosmological evolution in their properties still poses many open questions. Previous studies suggest that the LGRB rate density (LGRB-RD) follows the cosmic star formation…

Gamma-ray bursts observed in high-energies allow the investigation of the emission processes of these still puzzling events. In this study, we perform general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations to investigate GRB 090510, a…

We propose that luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) signal the delayed conversion of a massive neutron star (NS; M_NS > ~1.8 Msun) into a highly magnetized hybrid star (HS) with B_HS ~10^15 G surface field; a QCD magnetar. This…
