A search for hard X-ray bursts occurring simultaneously to fast radio bursts in the repeating FRB 121102

Shangyu Sun, Wenfei Yu, Yunwei Yu +1

The nature of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is currently unknown. Repeating FRBs offer better opportunity than non-repeating FRBs since their simultaneous multi-wavelength counterparts…

Neutron Star Mergers in AGN Accretion Disks: Cocoon and Ejecta Shock Breakouts

Jin-Ping Zhu, Bing Zhang, Yun-Wei Yu +1

Neutron star mergers are believed to occur in accretion disks around supermassive black holes. Here we show that a putative jet launched from the merger of a binary neutron star (B…

Phenomenological QCD equations of state for neutron star dynamics: Nuclear-2SC continuity and evolving effective couplings

Toru Kojo, Defu Hou, Jude Okafor +1

We delineate the quark-hadron continuity by constructing QCD equations of state for neutron star dynamics, covering the wide range of charge chemical potential () and temperat…

The evolution of a newborn millisecond magnetar with a propeller-recycling disk

Shao-Ze Li, Yun-Wei Yu, He Gao +1

A rapidly rotating and highly magnetized neutron star (NS) could be formed from the explosive phenomena such as superluminous supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. This newborn NS can s…

Pulsar glitches in a strangeon star model. II. The activity

Weihua Wang, Xiaoyu Lai, Enping Zhou +3

Glitch is supposed to be a useful probe into pulsar's interior, but the underlying physics remains puzzling. The glitch activity may reflect a lower limit of the crustal moment of…

Kilonova Emission From Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers. II. Luminosity Function and Implications for Target-of-opportunity Observations of Gravitational-wave Triggers and Blind Searches

Jin-Ping Zhu, Shichao Wu, Yuan-Pei Yang +8

We present detailed simulations of black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) mergers kilonova and gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow and kilonova luminosity function, and discuss the detectabil…

On the event rate and luminosity function of superluminous supernovae

Wen-Chang Zhao, Xiao-Xin Xue, Xiao-Feng Cao

We calculate the rate per unit volume of hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) based on the 17 events discovered with the Pan-STARRS1 Medium Deep Survey (PS1 MDS). Two f…

Merging strangeon stars II: the ejecta and light curves

X. Y. Lai, C. J. Xia, Y. W. Yu +1

The state of supranuclear matter in compact stars remains puzzling, and it is argued that pulsars could be strangeon stars. The consequences of merging double strangeon stars are w…

The jet structure and the intrinsic luminosity function of short gamma-ray bursts

Wei-Wei Tan, Yun-Wei Yu

The joint observation of GW170817 and GRB 170817A indicated that short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) can originate from binary neutron star mergers. Moreover, some SGRBs could be detect…

The confrontation of the shock-powered synchrotron maser model with the Galactic FRB 200428

Yun-Wei Yu, Yuan-Chuan Zou, Zi-Gao Dai +1

The association of FRB 200428 with an X-ray burst (XRB) from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 offers important implications for the physical processes responsible for the fast r…

Discovery of delayed spin-up behavior following two large glitches in the Crab pulsar, and the statistics of such processes

M. Y. Ge, S. N. Zhang, F. J. Lu +130

Glitches correspond to sudden jumps of rotation frequency () and its derivative () of pulsars, the origin of which remains not well understood yet, partly because the jum…

Kilonova Emission From Black Hole-Neutron Star Mergers. I. Viewing-Angle-Dependent Lightcurves

Jin-Ping Zhu, Yuan-Pei Yang, Liang-Duan Liu +5

In this paper, we present a numerical method to study the predicted lightcurves as a function of viewing angle. We extrapolate the fitting formulae for the mass and velocity of tid…

Fast radio bursts from activities of neutron stars newborn in BNS mergers: offset, birth rate and observational properties

F. Y. Wang, Y. Y. Wang, Yuan-Pei Yang +3

Young neutron stars (NSs) born in core-collapse explosions are promising candidates for the central engines of fast radio bursts (FRBs), since the first localized repeating burst F…

Gravitational-wave memory from a propagating relativistic jet: a probe of the interior of gamma-ray burst progenitors

Yun-Wei Yu

It is believed that the relativistic jets of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) should initially propagate through a heavy envelope of the massive progenitor stars or through a merger ejecta…
