Optical and radio transients after the collapse of super-Chandrasekhar white dwarf merger remnants

Yun-Wei Yu, Aming Chen, Bo Wang

Super-Chandrasekhar remnants of double white dwarf mergers could sometimes collapse into a rapidly rotating neutron star (NS), accompanying with a mass ejection of a few times $0.0…

Probing the physics of newly born magnetars through observation of superluminous supernovae

Quan Cheng, Shuang-Nan Zhang, Yun-Wei Yu +1

The central engines of some superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are generally suggested to be newly born fast rotating magnetars, which spin down mainly through magnetic dipole radiat…

Compact Binary Mergers and The Event Rate of Fast Radio Bursts

Xiao-Feng Cao, Yun-Wei Yu, Xia Zhou

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are usually suggested to be associated with mergers of compact binaries consisting of white dwarfs (WDs), neutron stars (NSs), or black holes (BHs). We tes…
