Rotational Effects on Neutrino Emission in Core-collapse Supernovae
Michael A. Pajkos, Siddharth Boyeneni, Oliver Eggenberger Andersen
All stars rotate. While magnetic braking slows massive stars, the effect a stellar companion has on stellar rotation is still being explored. To prepare for future observations fro…
The Influence of Muons, Pions, and Trapped Neutrinos on Neutron Star Mergers
Michael A. Pajkos, Elias R. Most
The merger of two neutron stars probes dense matter in a hot, neutrino-trapped regime. In this work, we investigate how fully accounting for pions, muons, and muon-type neutrinos i…
Characterizing the Directionality of Gravitational Wave Emission from Matter Motions within Core-collapse Supernovae
Michael A. Pajkos, Steven J. VanCamp, Kuo-Chuan Pan +3
We analyze the directional dependence of the gravitational wave (GW) emission from 15 3D neutrino radiation hydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovae. Using spin weighte…
Parameter estimation from the core-bounce phase of rotating core collapse supernovae in real interferometer noise
Laura O. Villegas, Claudia Moreno, Michael A. Pajkos +2
In this work we propose an analytical model that reproduces the core-bounds phase of gravitational waves (GW) of Rapidly Rotating (RR) from Core Collapse Supernovae (CCSNe), as a f…
Horizons: Nuclear Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond
H. Schatz, A. D. Becerril Reyes, A. Best +162
Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the…
Determining the Structure of Rotating Massive Stellar Cores with Gravitational Waves
Michael A. Pajkos, MacKenzie L. Warren, Sean M. Couch +2
The gravitational wave (GW) signal resulting from stellar core collapse encodes a wealth of information about the physical parameters of the progenitor star and the resulting core-…
Features of Accretion-phase Gravitational-wave Emission from Two-dimensional Rotating Core-collapse Supernovae
Michael A. Pajkos, Sean M. Couch, Kuo-Chuan Pan +1
We explore the influence of progenitor mass and rotation on the gravitational-wave (GW) emission from core-collapse supernovae, during the postbounce, preexplosion, accretion-phase…
Stellar variability at the main-sequence turnoff of the intermediate-age LMC cluster NGC 1846
R. Salinas, M. A. Pajkos, A. K. Vivas +2
Intermediate-age star clusters in the LMC present extended main sequence turnoffs (MSTO) that have been attributed to either multiple stellar populations or an effect of stellar ro…
