Blazars are promising sources of extragalactic high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, detected at energies $\gtrsim 10$ TeV by the IceCube neutrino observatory. Here, we report the first-ever broadband timing and spectral study of the…
We demonstrate that in highly magnetized pair plasmas, nonlinear Alfven waves with wave-number $k \leq k_0 = \omega_p^2 /(\delta \omega_B)$ ($\delta =( \delta B)/B_0$ are relative fluctuations of the magnetic field) experience powerful…
Black hole supernovae (BHSNe), the term we use for core-collapse events in which black hole (BH) formation occurs after shock revival but before the explosion is complete, have emerged as a natural outcome of multidimensional simulations as…
Type Ib and Ic supernovae (SNe Ib/Ic) are the bright finale of massive stars that have lost their hydrogen envelopes, making them powerful probes of mass stripping in massive star evolution. The advent of modern large photometric and…
The study of X-ray pulsar accretion columns helps us characterize accretion physics in this extreme regime of strong gravity and strong magnetic fields. Previous observations of the X-ray pulsar Hercules X-1 revealed a highly broadened Fe K…
The identification of ultra-high energy cosmic ray sources is one of the open challenges of high-energy astrophysics. As charged particles travel through the Universe, they are deflected by extragalactic magnetic fields and lose energy…
Active galactic nuclei often exhibit highly collimated relativistic plasma outflows launched from the vicinity of their central black holes. One of the key theoretical challenges in understanding black hole jet formation is the origin of…
Accretion discs are fundamental to many astrophysical systems, providing the conversion of gravitational potential energy into radiation that we can observe. In many systems there is evidence that discs are warped; from spatially-resolved…
Langevin stochastic differential equations provide a dynamical description of pulsar timing noise and gravitational wave background (GWB) signals. They are also central to state space algorithms that have gained traction in pulsar timing…
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes and are among the brightest nuclear transients. It has been thought that strong relativistic effects rapidly dissipate orbital energy and produce…
Radio observations of cataclysmic variables have revealed a variety of behavior. From some systems, we see bright unpolarized radio flares occurring during dwarf nova outbursts, consistent with synchrotron emission from jets. In others, we…
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) remain an intriguing topic in supernova (SN) transient astronomy. While the majority of SLSNe are shown to be explained by energy streaming from the newly born magnetar, there are others which are powered by…
We performed a search for fast X-ray transients (FXTs), with durations longer than one second and less than one day, through data of the Wide Field Camera (WFC) instrument onboard the BeppoSAX X-ray observatory collected between June 1996…
The nebular phase of a supernova (SN) occurs several months to years after the explosion, with asymmetries created by the explosion encoded into the line profiles of the emission lines. To make accurate predictions for these line profiles,…
In the nebular phase, supernovae are powered by radioactive decay and continuously fade, while their densities have decreased enough such that the expanding nebula becomes (largely) optically thin and the entire structure contributes to the…
X-ray binary accretion disk winds can carry away a significant fraction of the matter transferred from the companion and hence strongly affect the accretion flow and the long-term evolution of the binary. However, accurate mass outflow rate…
We investigate the physical origin and location of high-energy neutrino emission in active galactic nuclei (AGN) using the blazar GB6 J1542+6129 as a case study, testing whether neutrinos are produced in compact regions near the black hole…
We present the discovery of a second coherent radio burst from the thermally emitting neutron star 2XMM J104608.7$-$594306 in our follow-up observations with the Murriyang Ultra-Wideband Low receiver. This burst shows complex morphology…
Using ''color cut'' method we obtained from SDSS DR16 catalog 733 red quasar candidates which amounted to approximately 4% of the objects from the initial sample. Then we estimated the radiative efficiency, spins, inclination angles, and…
Black holes are expected to end their lifetime in a burst of Hawking radiation, emitting all Standard Model particles at ultra-high energies. The evaporation of a nearby primordial black hole (PBH) has been proposed as an explanation for…
