Testing Heavy Dark Matter Decay as the Origin of KM3-230213A
KM3NeT Collaboration, O. Adriani, J. A. Aguilar +287
This work explores the hypothesis that the ultra-high-energy neutrino event KM3-230213A originates from the decay of a heavy dark matter particle with a mass above PeV scale. The a…
Constraining gamma-ray burst parameters with the first ultra-high energy neutrino event KM3-230213A
KM3NeT Collaboration, O. Adriani, A. Albert +278
Context: The detection of the highest energy neutrino observed to date by KM3NeT, with an estimated energy of 220 PeV, opens up new possibilities for the study and identification o…
Direct VLBI Detection of Interstellar Turbulence Imprint on a Quasar: TXS 2005+403
Alexander Plavin, Alexander Pushkarev, Yuri Kovalev
We report the first unambiguous detection of refractive substructure in an active galactic nucleus (AGN) using ground-based Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). Our analysis o…
Ring Asymmetry and Spin in M87*
Vadim Bernshteyn, Nicholas S. Conroy, Michi Bauböck +263
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) images of the supermassive black hole M87* depict an asymmetric ring of emission. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) models of M87* and…
Multi-messenger flare in the quasar PKS 0446+11
Y. Y. Kovalev, M. F. Aller, A. K. Erkenov +15
The physical mechanisms driving neutrino and electromagnetic flares in blazars remain poorly understood. We investigate a prominent multi-messenger flare in the quasar PKS 1424+240…
Heavy interstellar scattering toward the near end of the Galactic bar
A. B. Pushkarev, A. Brunthaler, Y. Y. Kovalev +8
We present results of a pilot observational wide-field VLBI campaign on probing scattering properties of the partly ionized interstellar medium towards the Galactic plane sky regio…
