A transition in circumbinary accretion discs at a binary mass ratio of 1:25

Daniel J. D'Orazio, Zoltan Haiman, Paul Duffell +2

We study circumbinary accretion discs in the framework of the restricted three-body problem (R3Bp) and via numerically solving the height-integrated equations of viscous hydrodynam…

Origin of the ankle in the ultra-high energy cosmic ray spectrum and of the extragalactic protons below it

Glennys R. Farrar, Michael Unger, Luis A. Anchordoqui

The sharp change in slope of the ultra-high energy cosmic ray (UHECR) spectrum around 10^{18.6} eV (the ankle), combined with evidence of a light but extragalactic component near a…

Probing Final Stages of Stellar Evolution with X-Ray Observations of SN 2013ej

Sayan Chakraborti, Alak Ray, Randall Smith +8

Massive stars shape their surroundings with mass loss from winds during their lifetimes. Fast ejecta from supernovae, from these massive stars, shocks this circumstellar medium. Em…

A Deep Search for Prompt Radio Emission from Thermonuclear Supernovae with the Very Large Array

Laura Chomiuk, Alicia M. Soderberg, Roger A. Chevalier +10

Searches for circumstellar material around Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are one of the most powerful tests of the nature of SN Ia progenitors, and radio observations provide a parti…

Happy Birthday Swift: Ultra-long GRB141121A and its broad-band Afterglow

A. Cucchiara, P. Veres, A. Corsi +27

We present our extensive observational campaign on the Swift-discovered GRB141121A, al- most ten years after its launch. Our observations covers radio through X-rays, and extends f…

Analyzing the Largest Spectroscopic Dataset of Stripped Supernovae to Improve Their Identifications and Constrain Their Progenitors

Yu-Qian Liu, Maryam Modjaz, Federica B. Bianco +1

Using the largest spectroscopic dataset of stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae (stripped SNe), we present a systematic investigation of spectral properties of Type IIb SNe (…
