Needle in a Bayes Stack: a Hierarchical Bayesian Method for Constraining the Neutron Star Equation of State with an Ensemble of Binary Neutron Star Post-merger Remnants

Alexander W. Criswell, Jesse Miller, Noah Woldemariam +6

Binary neutron star (BNS) post-merger gravitational-wave emission can occur in the aftermath of a BNS merger -- provided the system avoids prompt collapse to a black hole -- as a q…

Near-Earth Supernovae in the Past 10 Myr: Implications for the Heliosphere

Jesse A. Miller, Brian D. Fields, Thomas Y. Chen +10

We summarize evidence that multiple supernovae exploded within 100 pc of Earth in the past few Myr. These events had dramatic effects on the heliosphere, compressing it to within ~…

Heliospheric Compression due to Recent Nearby Supernova Explosions

Jesse A. Miller, Brian D. Fields

The widespread detection of 60Fe in geological and lunar archives provides compelling evidence for recent nearby supernova explosions within pc around 3 Myr and 7 Myr ag…

Proposed Lunar Measurements of -Process Radioisotopes to Distinguish Origin of Deep-sea 244Pu

Xilu Wang, Adam M. Clark, John Ellis +6

244Pu has recently been discovered in deep-sea deposits spanning the past 10 Myr, a period that includes two 60Fe pulses from nearby supernovae. 244Pu is among the heaviest -pro…

r-Process Radioisotopes from Near-Earth Supernovae and Kilonovae

Xilu Wang, Adam M. Clark, John Ellis +5

The astrophysical sites where r-process elements are synthesized remain mysterious: it is clear that neutron star mergers (kilonovae (KNe)) contribute, and some classes of core-col…

Supernova Triggers for End-Devonian Extinctions

Brian D. Fields, Adrian L. Melott, John Ellis +6

The Late Devonian was a protracted period of low speciation resulting in biodiversity decline, culminating in extinction events near the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary. Recent evi…

Near-Earth Supernova Explosions: Evidence, Implications, and Opportunities

Brian D. Fields, John R. Ellis, Walter R. Binns +36

There is now solid experimental evidence of at least one supernova explosion within 100 pc of Earth within the last few million years, from measurements of the short-lived isotope…
