Gardening on the Moon: An Advection-Diffusion Model to Guide the Search for Supernova Debris in the Lunar Regolith
Emily S. Costello, John Ellis, Brian D. Fields +2
The vertical redistribution of materials in the lunar regolith - ranging from continuously produced space-weathering products to sporadic pulses of supernova- or kilonova-derived i…
Gravitational Waves: Echoes of the Biggest Bangs since the Big Bang and/or BSM Physics?
John Ellis
"If one could ever prove the existence of gravitational waves, the processes responsible for their generation would probably be much more curious and interesting than even the wave…
Do we Owe our Existence to Gravitational Waves?
John Ellis, Brian D. Fields, Rebecca Surman
Two heavy elements essential to human biology are thought to have been produced by the astrophysical -process, which occurs in neutron-rich environments: iodine is a constituent…
Could a Kilonova Kill: a Threat Assessment
Haille M. L. Perkins, John Ellis, Brian D. Fields +5
Binary neutron star mergers (BNS) produce high-energy emissions from several physically different sources, including a gamma-ray burst (GRB) and its afterglow, a kilonova, and, at…
