Inferring jet physics from neutron star - black hole mergers with gravitational waves

Teagan A. Clarke, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane

Neutron star - black hole (NSBH) mergers that undergo tidal disruption may launch jets that could power a gamma-ray burst. We use a population of simulated NSBH systems to measure…

Quantifying the coincidence between gravitational waves and fast radio bursts from neutron star - black hole mergers

Teagan A. Clarke, Nikhil Sarin, Eric J. Howell +2

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious astrophysical transients whose origin and mechanism remain unclear. Compact object mergers may be a promising channel to produce some FRBs.…

Radio continuum from the most massive early-type galaxies detected with ASKAP RACS

Michael J. I. Brown, Teagan A. Clarke, Andrew M. Hopkins +2

All very massive early-type galaxies contain supermassive blackholes but are these blackholes all sufficiently active to produce detectable radio continuum sources? We have used th…
