The Crimson Kiss of Two Giants: Helium Detonation and High-Energy Neutrino Production
Cecilia Romero Rodríguez, Pau Amaro Seoane
The coalescence of degenerate helium cores during red giant collisions - a process we term erythrohenosis - introduces a novel class of transient astrophysical sources of high-ener…
Erythrohenosis -- The crimson chronicles of two giants
Pau Amaro Seoane
We investigate erythrohenosis -- the collision and merger of two red giants -- establishing an end-to-end model for this fundamental evolutionary channel in dense stellar environme…
Illuminating gravitational wave sources with Sgr A* flares
Pau Amaro Seoane
Sagittarius A* exhibits daily energetic flares characterized by non-thermal emission in the infrared and X-ray bands. While the underlying accretion flow is a Radiatively Inefficie…
Underluminous tidal disruptions
Pau Amaro Seoane
We have evidence of X-ray flares in several galaxies consistent with a a star being tidally disrupted by a supermassive black hole (MBH). If the star starts on a nearly parabolic o…
Colliding red giants in galactic nuclei: Shocks, jets, impact on the ISM, X- and gamma-rays, neutrinos, fusion ignition and afterglow
Pau Amaro Seoane
In galactic nuclei, stellar densities are so high that stars can physically collide with each other. In this work we focus on the collision of red giants and in particular on the f…
Collisions of red giants in galactic nuclei
Taeho Ryu, Pau Amaro Seoane, Andrew M. Taylor +1
In stellar-dense environments, stars can collide with each other. For collisions close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH), the collisional kinetic energy can be so large that the…
Massive Black Hole Binaries as LISA Precursors in the Roman High Latitude Time Domain Survey
Zoltán Haiman, Chengcheng Xin, Tamara Bogdanović +27
With its capacity to observe faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) out to redshift , Roman is poised to reveal a population of b…
