Hubble constant and nuclear equation of state from kilonova spectro-photometric light curves

M. A. Pérez-García, L. Izzo, D. Barba +17

The merger of two compact objects of which at least one is a neutron star is signalled by transient electromagnetic emission in a kilonova (KN). This event is accompanied by gravit…

Medium effects in supernovae constraints on light mediators

David G. Cerdeño, Marina Cermeño, M. Ángeles Pérez-García +1

In this article, we reevaluate supernovae (SN) constraints on the diffusion time of neutrinos for a family of extensions of the Standard Model that incorporate new light scalar and…

Neutron Stars Mass-Radius relationship and Electromagnetic follow-up of Kilonovae

D. Barba-González, M. Ángeles Pérez-García

When two Neutron Stars collide a multi-band electromagnetic emission, known as Kilonova (KN), follows being powered by the radioactive decay of ejecta products. In this contributio…

Neutron stars as probes of dark matter

M. Ángeles Pérez-García, J. Silk

Neutron Stars (NSs) are compact stellar objects that are stable solutions in General Relativity. Their internal structure is usually described using an equation of state that invol…

Weak B Decays into Orbitally Excited Charmed Mesons

J. Segovia, C. Albertus, D. R. Entem +3

The BaBar Collaboration has recently reported branching fractions for semileptonic decays of the meson into final states with charged and neutral and $D_{2}^{\ast…

Dark matter and bubble nucleation in old neutron stars

A. Herrero, M. A. Pérez-García, J. Silk +1

We study the probability for nucleation of quark matter droplets in the dense cold cores of old neutron stars induced by the presence of a self-annihilating dark matter component,…

Modified Gravity at Astrophysical Scales

M. Cermeño, J. Carro, A. L. Maroto +1

Using a perturbative approach we solve stellar structure equations for low-density (solar-type) stars whose interior is described with a polytropic equation of state in scenarios i…

Gamma rays from dark mediators in white dwarfs

M. Cermeño, M. Angeles Pérez-García

We consider self-annihilation of dark matter, , into metastable mediators, , and their subsequent decay into photons inside white dwarfs. We focus on reactions of the type $χ…

Heavy sterile neutrinos in stellar core-collapse

Tomasz Rembiasz, Martin Obergaulinger, Manuel Masip +3

We perform spherically symmetric simulations of the core collapse of a single progenitor star of zero age main sequence mass with two models of hea…

Enhanced neutrino emissivities in pseudoscalar-mediated Dark Matter annihilation in Neutron Stars

M. Cermeño, M. A. Pérez-García, R. A. Lineros

We calculate neutrino emissivities from self-annihilating dark matter () in the dense and hot stellar interior of a (proto)neutron star. Using a model where dark matter interact…

Light dark matter scattering in outer neutron star crusts

Marina Cermeño, M. Ángeles Pérez-García, Joseph Silk

We calculate for the first time the phonon excitation rate in the outer crust of a neutron star due to scattering from light dark matter (LDM) particles gravitationally boosted int…

Diffusion of dark matter in a hot and dense nuclear environment

Marina Cermeño, M. Ángeles Pérez-García, Joseph Silk

We calculate the mean free path in a hot and dense nuclear environment for a fermionic dark matter particle candidate in the GeV mass range interacting with nucleons via scal…

Production of unstable heavy neutrinos in proto-neutron stars

C. Albertus, M. Masip, M. A. Pérez-García

We discuss the production of a class of heavy sterile neutrinos in proto-neutron stars. The neutrinos, of mass around MeV, have a negligible mixing with the active speci…

Magnetic susceptibility and magnetization properties of asymmetric nuclear matter under a strong magnetic field

A. Rabhi, M. A. Pérez-García, C. Providência +1

We study the effect of a strong magnetic field on the proton and neutron spin polarization and magnetic susceptibility of asymmetric nuclear matter within a relativistic mean-field…

GAMMA-LIGHT: High-Energy Astrophysics above 10 MeV

Aldo Morselli, Andrea Argan, Guido Barbiellini +39

High-energy phenomena in the cosmos, and in particular processes leading to the emission of gamma- rays in the energy range 10 MeV - 100 GeV, play a very special role in the unders…

Dynamical response of the nuclear pasta in neutron star crusts

C. J. Horowitz, M. A. Pérez-García, D. K. Berry +1

The nuclear pasta -- a novel state of matter having nucleons arranged in a variety of complex shapes -- is expected to be found in the crust of neutron stars and in core-collapse s…
