Electromagnetic Signatures of Mirror Stars
Isabella Armstrong, Berkin Gurbuz, David Curtin +1
Mirror Stars are a generic prediction of dissipative dark matter models, including minimal atomic dark matter and twin baryons in the Mirror Twin Higgs. Mirror Stars can capture re…
Misaligned precessing jets are choked by the accretion disk wind
Wenbin Lu, Tatsuya Matsumoto, Christopher D. Matzner
We analytically and numerically study the hydrodynamic propagation of a precessing jet in the context of tidal disruption events (TDEs) where the star's angular momentum is misalig…
Nonlinear acoustics and shock dynamics in isentropic atmospheres
Tamar Faran, Christopher D. Matzner, Eliot Quataert
Nonlinear acoustic evolution is often discussed in the context of wave-steepening that leads to shock formation, and is of special interest in applications where the shock continue…
Observability of flashes from ejecta crashes in aspherical supernovae, with application to SN 2008D
Benjamin Scully, Christopher D. Matzner, Almog Yalinewich
A new class of transient, which has been hypothesized to accompany the explosion of an aspherical compact supernova, would arise when streams of ejecta collide outside the star. Ho…
Origin of high-velocity ejecta and early red excess emission in the infant Type Ia supernova 2021aefx
Yuan Qi Ni, Dae-Sik Moon, Maria R. Drout +5
SN~2021aefx is a normal Type Ia Supernova (SN) with red excess emission over the first 2 days. We present detailed analysis of this SN using our high-cadence KMTNet multi-ba…
