The Structure of Poloidal Fields Embedded in Thin Disks
Yossef Zenati, Ethan T. Vishniac, Amir Jafari
Many accreting systems are modeled as geometrically thin disks. Simulations of accretion disks cannot be extended to this regime, although local models can address the behavior of…
Expanding the High-z Supernova Frontier: "Wide-Area" JWST Discoveries from the First Two Years of COSMOS-Web
Ori D. Fox, Armin Rest, Justin D. R. Pierel +48
Transient astronomy in the early Universe (z > 2) remains largely unexplored, lying beyond the rest-frame optical spectroscopic reach of most current observatories. Yet this regime…
SN 2019vxm: A Shocking Coincidence between Fermi and TESS
Zachary G. Lane, Ryan Ridden-Harper, Sofia Rest +37
Shock breakout and, in some cases, jet-driven high-energy emission are increasingly recognized as key signatures of the earliest phases of core-collapse supernovae, especially in T…
Neutrino diagnostics of hadron-quark phase transition in Neutron Stars
Yossef Zenati, Conrado Albertus Torres, Joseph Silk +1
We investigate neutrino signatures of a hadron-quark phase transition (HQPT) in neutron stars (NS) leading to quark star (QS) formation. We use representative hadronic and quark eq…
The First Photometric Evidence of a Transient/Variable Source at z>5 with JWST
Christa DeCoursey, Eiichi Egami, Fengwu Sun +27
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered 79 transients out to 4.8 through the JADES Transient Survey (JTS), but the JTS did not find any 5 transients. Here,…
JWST Discovery of a High-Redshift Tidal Disruption Event Candidate in COSMOS-Web
Mitchell Karmen, Suvi Gezari, Erini Lambrides +26
The rates and properties of tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide valuable insights into their host galaxy central stellar densities and the demographics of their central supermas…
The Ultraviolet Spectra of 2003fg-like Type Ia Supernovae

Mass transfer in eccentric black hole - neutron star mergers
Yossef Zenati, Mor Rozner, Julian H Krolik +1
Black hole - neutron star binaries are of interest in many ways: they are intrinsically multi-messenger systems, highly transient, radiate gravitational waves detectable…
