3D PIC Simulations for Relativistic Jets with a Toroidal Magnetic Field

A. Meli, K. Nishikawa, C. Koehn +6

We have investigated how kinetic instabilities such as the Weibel instability (WI), the mushroom instability (MI), and the kinetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (kKHI) are excited i…

Fast neutrino flavor conversion, ejecta properties, and nucleosynthesis in newly-formed hypermassive remnants of neutron-star mergers

Manu George, Meng-Ru Wu, Irene Tamborra +2

Neutrinos emitted in the coalescence of two neutron stars affect the dynamics of the outflow ejecta and the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements. In this work, we analyze the neutrino…

Elastic and Inelastic Scattering of Cosmic-Rays on Sub-GeV Dark Matter

Gang Guo, Yue-Lin Sming Tsai, Meng-Ru Wu +1

We revisit the signatures from collisions of cosmic-rays on sub-GeV dark matter (DM) in the Milky Way. In addition to the upscattered DM component that can be probed by existing DM…

HOLISMOKES -- III. Achromatic Phase of Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernovae

S. Huber, S. H. Suyu, U. M. Noebauer +5

To use strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae (LSNe Ia) for cosmology, a time-delay measurement between the multiple supernova (SN) images is necessary. The sharp rise and decline of S…
