Stellar abundances reveal non-monotonic [Y/Eu] and [Sr/Eu] evolution, a systematic decline with increasing [Eu/H] at low metallicity, a minimum at $[\rm{Eu/H}] \sim -0.3$ and then a rise at high metallicity. This behavior requires at least…
Galactic radio transients (GRTs) are mysterious short-lived (~days to months) radio transients that are quiet at all other wavelengths. Until now, roughly half a dozen such sources have been reported, predominantly towards the Galactic…
Relativistic jets launched by active galactic nuclei are fundamental for understanding the physics of accreting supermassive black holes and their immediate environment, yet the mechanisms driving jet launching remain uncertain. In this…
The advent of high-fidelity imaging of supermassive black holes calls for efficient and robust data-analysis methods. In this work, we use $\texttt{Jipole}$, a differentiable, $\texttt{ipole}$-based radiative transfer code, to enable…
The extent of envelope stripping in the progenitor stars is directly reflected in the diversity of spectral features observed in stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe). Through extensive spectral observation and analysis, we aim to clarify…
We introduce $\texttt{GPUmonty}$, a CUDA/C-based Monte Carlo radiative transfer code accelerated using graphics processing units (GPUs). $\texttt{GPUmonty}$ derives from the CPU-based code $\texttt{grmonty}$ and offloads the most…
Type IIn supernovae (SNe IIn) are hydrogen-rich explosions embedded in dense circumstellar medium (CSM), which gives rise to their characteristic narrow hydrogen emission lines. The nature of their progenitors and pre-explosion mass loss…
The observational link between long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and broad-lined stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (SNe Ic-BL) is well established. Significant progress has been made in constraining what fraction of SNe Ic-BL may power…
Type Ibn supernovae (SNe) are characterized by narrow helium (He I) lines from photons produced by the unshocked circumstellar material (CSM). About 80 SNe Ibn have been discovered to date, and only a handful have extensive observational…
Using a two-fluid approach, we consider the properties of relativistically nonlinear (arbitrary $a_0$), circularly polarized \EM\ waves propagating along magnetic field in electron-ion and pair plasmas. Dispersion relations depend on how…
High-redshift ($z>2$) blazars, with relativistic jets aligned toward us, probe the most powerful end of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) population. We aim at determining the black hole masses and mass accretion rates of high-$z$ blazars in…
The IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory has discovered the presence of a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux at energies of TeV and beyond using neutrino induced muon tracks and cascade events from neutrino interactions. We present two…
It is generally believed that high energy radiation (power-law components) can be mostly produced by a hot corona gas in the accreting black holes. There is a very popular hybrid disk radial coupling model that the inner part of cool…
In this paper, we report on the first 3D general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of large supercritical accretion discs that are tilted with respect to the black hole spin axis. We explore a range of black hole spin…
We report time-resolved NICER and Swift X-ray spectroscopy of a bright flare from the black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 during its obscured state, which is characterized by heavy line-of-sight absorption by dense material with complex…
The NASA Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (\emph{NICER}) mission measures the X-ray pulse profiles of select millisecond pulsars and uses sophisticated pulse profile modeling (PPM) techniques to constrain their masses ($M$) and…
The Galactic diffuse gamma-ray emission is conventionally modeled as the product of cosmic-ray interactions with the interstellar medium. However, the cumulative contribution of stellar atmospheres acting as hadronic interaction targets…
Long-period transients (LPTs) are a newly identified class of radio sources with burst recurrence times from minutes to hours, and their diversity suggests multiple physical origins. CHIME/ILT J1634+44, with a short period of 841 s, a…
We present 43\,GHz VLBI observations of the radio galaxy 3C~120 during its brightest $\gamma$-ray outburst (March 2018), recently associated with the IceCube neutrino alert IC-180213A. Despite reaching $L_\gamma = 3.7 \times…
We present an updated analysis of the gigaelectronvolt (GeV) gamma-ray emission from the shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0-4622 (Vela Jr) using 15 yr of Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) data. We quantitatively model the…
