We present the first spectral analysis of Scorpius X-1 (Sco X-1) using intentional stray light (SL) observations taken by NuSTAR. Unlike focused observations that have high telemetry load when observing bright sources, intentional SL…

Black holes (BHs) and wormholes (WHs) are characterized by distinct spacetime geometries, whose differences become pronounced close to the central objects. A useful way to probe such differences is via the dynamics of stellar tidal…

We analyse the gravitational-wave emission from 60 two-dimensional core-collapse supernova simulations. The models cover a range of progenitors and equations of state. We focus on the narrow frequency interval in the gravitational-wave…

Recently, the GeV--sub-PeV spectrum of supernova remnant (SNR) Cassiopeia A (Cas A), one of the youngest and most well-studied SNRs in our Galaxy, has been updated by observations of Fermi-LAT and LHAASO. We revisit Cas A with our previous…

The collapse of massive stars drives explosions that power relativistic fireballs. If only a small amount of matter is entrained, such clean fireballs can expand with Lorentz factors $\Gamma> 100$, accounting for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). It…

Recently, binary pulsar timing has been proposed as a viable probe of dark matter subhalos with masses of $\sim 10^7\,M_{\odot}$ in the solar neighborhood. We present a comprehensive analytical framework that incorporates the subhalo mass…

Using two observations obtained with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we present a detailed single-pulse analysis of the high-nulling pulsar PSR J1820-0509. We measure an exceptionally high nulling fraction…

Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) surrounded by neutrino-dominated accretion flows (NDAFs) are a leading central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In this work, we investigate the electron fraction distribution in NDAFs with or without disk…

Following long periods of quiescence, low-mass X-ray binaries can exhibit intense X-ray outbursts triggered by instabilities within the accretion disk. These outbursts can sometimes be detected in optical wavelengths before being detected…

The electric fields inside thunderstorms can significantly modify the intensity of secondary cosmic ray muons at the ground level, producing measurable variations in their intensity ($\Delta$I$_{\mu}$). By utilizing the decade-long…

Magnetized and rotating core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are promising candidates for producing long gamma-ray bursts and hypernovae. In this project, we present 34 two-dimensional magnetized core-collapse supernova simulations with…

The dynamics and observable signatures of neutron star mergers are governed by physics under the most extreme conditions. They are particularly impacted by the high-density equation of state, which for the most sophisticated models is…

We report on the cosmic ray mass composition measured by the Telescope Array Low-energy Extension (TALE) hybrid detector. The TALE detector consists of a fluorescence detector (FD) station with 10 FD telescopes located at the Telescope…

Magnetically arrested accretion disks (MADs) in black hole jet launching simulations are very successful in modelling low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) like M87*. The Fishbone-Moncrief torus is well established for this purpose in…

We develop an exact framework for neutrino decoherence in power-law correlated turbulent matter, as encountered in core-collapse supernovae. Employing the Nakajima--Zwanzig projection technique, we derive an exact non-Markovian master…

The binary black hole merger GW231123 is both the most massive gravitational-wave event observed and has the highest component spins measured to date. The dimensionless spins of the more massive (primary) and less massive (secondary) black…

The adiabatic equation of state $P \propto n^{\Gamma}$ describes the pressure evolution of highly collisional, isotropic plasmas in terms of their density, providing a possible closure of the fluid moment hierarchy in the absence of heat…

While there are a number of proposed formation channels for subsolar mass compact objects, including black holes formed primordially, or neutron stars that form in collapsar disks, there have yet to be any conclusive observations of such…

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are powerful probes of supermassive black hole (SMBH) properties and accretion physics. The existing light curve fitting tools assume that the disrupted stars are on parabolic orbits, which may introduce…

Cosmological filaments, galaxy clusters, and galaxies are magnetized reservoirs of cosmic rays (CRs). The exchange of CRs across these structures is usually modeled assuming that they remain charged and magnetically confined. At high…
