Construction of Wave Dark Matter Halos: Numerical Algorithm and Analytical Constraints
Tomer D. Yavetz, Xinyu Li, Lam Hui
We present a wave generalization of the classic Schwarzschild method for constructing self-consistent halos -- such a halo consists of a suitable superposition of waves instead of…

Fast dissipation of Colliding Alfvén Waves in a Magnetically Dominated Plasma
Xinyu Li, Andrei M. Beloborodov, Lorenzo Sironi
Magnetic energy around compact objects often dominates over plasma rest mass, and its dissipation can power the object luminosity. We describe a dissipation mechanism which works f…

Neutrino Fast Flavor Conversions in Neutron-star Post-Merger Accretion Disks
Xinyu Li, Daniel M. Siegel
A compact accretion disk may be formed in the merger of two neutron stars or of a neutron star and a stellar-mass black hole. Outflows from such accretion disks have been identifie…
