Shock breakout driven by the remnant of a neutron star binary merger: An X-ray precursor of mergernova emission

Shao-Ze Li, Yun-Wei Yu

A supra-massive neutron star (NS) spinning extremely rapidly could survive from a merger of NS-NS binary. The spin-down of this remnant NS that is highly magnetized would power the…

Constraints on millicharged particles by neutron stars

Xi Huang, Xiao-Ping Zheng, Wei-Hua Wang +1

We have constrained the charge-mass () phase space of millicharged particles through the simulation of the rotational evolution of neutron stars, where an extra slow…

The Most Luminous Supernova ASASSN-15lh: Signature of a Newborn Rapidly-Rotating Strange Quark Star

Z. G. Dai, S. Q. Wang, J. S. Wang +2

In this paper we show that the most luminous supernova discovered very recently, ASASSN-15lh, could have been powered by a newborn ultra-strongly-magnetized pulsar, which initially…

Rapidly Evolving and Luminous Transients Driven by Newly Born Neutron Stars

Yun-Wei Yu, Shao-Ze Li, Zi-Gao Dai

We provide a general analysis on the properties of emitting material of some rapidly evolving and luminous transients discovered recently with the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey. I…

The star formation history inferred from long gamma-ray bursts with high pseudo-redshifts

Wei-Wei Tan, Xiao-Feng Cao, Yun-Wei Yu

By employing a simple semi-analytical star formation model where the formation rates of Population (Pop) I/II and III stars can be calculated, respectively, we account for the numb…

Reverse Shock Emission and Ionization Break Out Powered by Post-merger Millisecond Magnetars

Ling-Jun Wang, Zi-Gao Dai, Yun-Wei Yu

There is accumulating evidence that at least a fraction of binary neutron star mergers result in rapidly spinning magnetars, with subrelativistic neutron-rich ejecta as massive as…
