Electromagnetic cascades are initiated by TeV gamma rays propagating through the intergalactic medium (IGM), and they can be used to constrain the weak intergalactic magnetic field (IGMF) in cosmic voids. Primary TeV photons produce…
We report the discovery of six faint millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the globular clusters NGC 6517 and NGC 7078 (M15) using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). These discoveries were enabled by stacking power…
A population of Galactic gamma-ray binaries is currently emerging due to ever increasing sensitivity of gamma-ray observatories. The detection of very high energy (VHE) photons with energies well above 10 TeV from a dozen of sources and the…
X-ray spectra of accretion-powered X-ray pulsars can often be described using a power-law continuum with a high-energy cutoff, which might be further modified by additional spectral components. The Be X-ray binary system 4U 0115+63 is well…
This work establishes oblique shocks in Massive Star Clusters (MSC) as a primary mechanism for accelerating cosmic rays (CR) up to the knee of the energy spectrum. We develop a model that incorporates the combined contribution of supernova…
We calculate the gravitational wave signal from the collapse of a rotating 300 $M_\odot$ star at the upper end of the pair-instability regime. The large-scale asymmetries that develop during the collapse produce a strong signal in the…
The enigmatic origin of the diffuse neutrino background detected by IceCube in the energy range from TeV to PeV remains one of the central open problems in high-energy astrophysics, and this puzzle is further deepened by the recent evidence…
We report new results from a nulling study of PSR~B0751+32 (PSR J0754+3231), observed at 1250~MHz with the Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Our analysis confirms the presence of periodic nulling in this pulsar.…
The magnetar 1E 1841-045 exhibited a new active episode starting on August 20, 2024, marked by X-ray bursts and enhanced persistent emission. Using data from the Einstein Probe (EP), we report on the timing and spectral results following…
The next nearby core-collapse supernova (SN) promises to yield a treasure of scientific information through multi-messenger astronomy. Early observations of the shock breakout (SBO) emissions are especially critical to understand the SN…
The central few parsecs of the Milky Way host a complex X-ray-emitting environment in which several extended plasma components are blended along the line of sight, complicating attempts to measure the intrinsic properties of individual…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most luminous and rapidly evolving transients in the Universe. While space-based instruments have extended GRB observations up to energies of $\sim$100 GeV, the detection of very-high-energy (VHE;…
Modeling subphotospheric shocks in a gamma-ray burst (GRB) is challenging due to the various timescales that must be resolved, and the fact that the same radiation dynamically mediates the shocks while forming the observed signal. Here, we…
Black hole impacts on accretion disks in galactic nuclei can power luminous transients, but predicting their observable signatures is challenging because the post-collision flow is highly time-dependent and inhomogeneous. We present a…
MAXI J1744$-$294, likely a low-mass X-ray binary system, is a Galactic-center transient source, detected at radio and X-ray wavelengths, located approximately $19''$ southeast of Sgr A*. We report the first detection of its variable linear…
We provide a comprehensive analysis of GW190711_030756 and GW200114_020818, two of the most significant binary black hole merger candidates in the IAS catalog, with probabilities of astrophysical origin $p_{\rm astro}=0.99$ and $0.71$,…
We present a time-resolved analysis of the persistent emission in 4U 1728--34 using AstroSat observations from 2016 to 2019. We detect kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) during all epochs, with centroid frequencies ranging…
Neutrino interactions play a central role in transport and flavor evolution in the ejecta of binary neutron star mergers. Simulations suggest that neutron star mergers may produce magnetic fields as strong as $10^{17}$ G, but computational…
Context. The origin of the astrophysical high-energy neutrino flux remains uncertain. Core-collapse supernovae with strong CSM interaction (Type IIn) are compelling candidates for efficient hadronic acceleration and neutrino production.…
Following the identification of the first confirmed individual neutrino source, Seyfert galaxies have emerged as the most prominent class of high-energy neutrino emitters. In this work, we perform a detailed investigation of the…
