Beyond prewhitening: detection of gravity modes and their period spacings in slowly pulsating B stars using the multitaper F-test
Aarya A. Patil, Conny Aerts, Nikki Y. N. Wang +2
Gravity modes in main-sequence stars have traditionally been studied using a prewhitening approach, which iteratively identifies modes in the Fourier domain and subsequently tunes…

Jittering jets in stripped-envelope core-collapse supernovae
Nikki Yat Ning Wang, Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker
Using the one-dimensional stellar evolution code MESA, we find that all our models in the initial mass range of 12-40 Mo, regardless of whether they have hydrogen-rich, hydrogen-st…

The jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM) in electron capture supernovae
Nikki Yat Ning Wang, Dmitry Shishkin, Noam Soker
We conduct one-dimensional stellar-evolution simulations of stars with zero age main sequence masses of towards core collapse by electron capture, and…
