Hyperaccreting Magnetised Neutron Stars inside Rotating Massive Envelopes: Low-Power Jets and Precursor Flares

Patrick Chi-Kit Cheong, Christopher L. Fryer, David Radice

The engulfment of a neutron star (NS) by a massive companion initiates a highly dynamic common-envelope (CE) evolution phase. As the NS spirals into the dense stellar core, it is s…

Magnetar Formation from Accretion Induced Collapse of White Dwarfs

Luís Felipe Longo Micchi, Patrick Chi-Kit Cheong, David Radice

We aim to characterize the post-collapse evolution of accretion-induced collapse (AIC) remnants of rapidly rotating, magnetized white dwarfs, focusing on their rotational, magnetic…

Impact of neutrino-electron scattering and an improved treatment of pair processes on binary neutron star mergers

Francois Foucart, Samantha Rath, Rowan Davidson +5

Multimessenger observations of neutron star mergers are unique opportunities to constrain the properties of dense matter and the production site of heavy nuclei. To leverage these…

Collapse of Magnetized White Dwarfs as site of Heavy Element Formation and Kilonova Signal

Tetyana Pitik, David Radice, Daniel Kasen +3

We present the first end-to-end calculation connecting the accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of a magnetized, rapidly rotating white dwarf to observable kilonova signatures, combini…

Hyperaccreting Neutron Stars inside Massive Envelopes: The Implausibility of Thorne-Żytkow Objects

Patrick Chi-Kit Cheong, David Radice, Christopher L. Fryer

The evolution of neutron stars (NSs) embedded within massive stellar envelopes is a critical phase in binary stellar evolution, potentially leading to the formation of Thorne-Å»ytk…

Distinct neutrino signatures and onset condition of quark deconfinement in accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs

Juno C. L. Chan, Harry Ho-Yin Ng, Patrick Chi-Kit Cheong

We present the first general relativistic, neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations of accretion-induced collapse (AIC) extending to seconds after core bounce, using realistic…
