Signatures of Compact Object Mergers Inside Stars in AGN Disks

Matteo Cantiello, Alexander J. Dittmann, Saavik Ford +4

Disks of gas accreting onto supermassive black holes, powering active galactic nuclei (AGN), can capture stars from nuclear star clusters or form stars in situ via gravitational in…

A grid of fast-rotating, chemically-homogeneous, supernova and/or long-GRB progenitors

M. Renzo, O. Gottlieb, H. S. Chan +6

The understanding of the mechanism(s) by which massive stars collapse and possibly explode is rapidly maturing. Uncertainties in the structure of the stellar core at the onset of c…

Jets from Scratch: Dynamo-Generated Poloidal Magnetic Fields in 3D Collapsar Simulations

Ho-Sang Chan, Ore Gottlieb, Jonatan Jacquemin-Ide +2

The origin of the large-scale poloidal magnetic field required to power relativistic jets in collapsars remains uncertain. While such a field may be inherited during PNS collapse,…

Accretion of Primordial Black Holes in Stellar Interiors

Matteo Cantiello, Ore Gottlieb, Cameron Norton +2

We study spherical accretion onto primordial black holes (PBHs) embedded in the core of a solar-type star. We compute the radiative efficiency self-consistently for the first time…

The Life and Death of Stars That Capture Primordial Black Holes

Ore Gottlieb, Matteo Cantiello, Cameron Norton +2

Primordial black holes (PBHs) in the asteroid mass window () remain viable dark matter candidates and can be captured by stars. We develop the first globa…

Prospects for optical detections from binary neutron star mergers with the next-generation multi-messenger observatories

E. Loffredo, N. Hazra, U. Dupletsa +13

Next-generation gravitational wave (GW) observatories, such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer, will observe binary neutron star (BNS) mergers across cosmic history…
