Outflows in steep density gradients: diversity of behavior and implications for tidal disruption events and luminous fast blue optical transients
Benjamin Amend, Michael Camilo, Eric R. Coughlin +2
Powerful explosions may undergo sustained energy injection as a central engine launches a wind into the surrounding gas, generating a forward and a reverse shock separated by a con…
The Role of Stellar Spin in Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Ananya Bandopadhyay, Benjamin Amend, Eric R. Coughlin +3
The repeated tidal stripping of a star by a supermassive black hole, known as a repeating partial tidal disruption event (rpTDE), can give rise to a transient that rebrightens mont…
Systematic Error in Approximate Models of the GRB Early Afterglow
Benjamin Amend, Eric R. Coughlin, Jonathan Zrake
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are thought to arise when relativistic ejecta launched by a compact central engine drive a blast wave into the surrounding circumburst medium, prod…
The interaction phase of engine-driven explosions and high-energy winds
Benjamin Amend, Christopher Lagomarsino, Eric R. Coughlin +1
Wide-angle outflows, or winds, are associated with a broad range of astrophysical systems, including protostars, massive stars, X-ray binaries, tidal disruption events (TDEs), lumi…
Spatial models of r-process remnants and their gamma-ray detectability
Benjamin Amend, Christopher L. Fryer, Matthew R. Mumpower +1
We investigate the detectability of gamma-ray emission from long-lived radioactive isotopes in r-process-enriched remnants, focusing on how assumptions about their spatial distribu…
R-process Rain from Binary Neutron Star Mergers in the Galactic Halo
Benjamin Amend, Jonathan Zrake, Dieter H. Hartmann
Compact binary mergers involving at least one neutron star are promising sites for the synthesis of -process elements found in stars and planets. However, mergers can t…
