Mass distribution of neutron stars in binary systems
Zhe Hu, GuoLiang Lv, ChunHua Zhu +5
It is known that the mass distribution of the known neutron stars (NSs) exhibits a bimodal pattern. The origin of this distribution remains a subject of debate. We constructed a su…
Application of interpretable data-driven methods for the reconstruction of supernova neutrino energy spectra following fast neutrino flavor conversions
Haihao Shi, Zhenyang Huang, Qiyu Yan +3
Neutrinos can experience fast flavor conversions (FFCs) in highly dense astrophysical environments, such as core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers, potentially affecting…
A low mass and radius neutron star candidate in XTE J1810-189?
Shoutao Ban, Helei Liu, Zhaosheng Li +7
Photosphere radius expansion (PRE) bursts provide a crucial tool for constraining the mass and radius of neutron stars. In this study, we analyze time-resolved spectroscopic data f…
Mass-Radius Constraints for 2S 0918-549 from an RXTE Superexpansion Burst: A Direct Cooling-Tail Analysis
Hongbin Fan, Helei Liu, Zhaosheng Li +6
Thermonuclear (Type I ) X-ray bursts from accreting neutron stars offer a means to determine neutron-star (NS) mass () and radius () and thereby probe the properties of matte…
Dark Matter (S)pins the Planet
Haihao Shi, Junda Zhou, Zhenyang Huang +2
Dark matter heating in planets has been proposed as a potential probe for dark matter detection. Assuming near-equilibrium conditions, we find that the energy input from dark matte…
A Core-Collapse Supernova Neutrino Parameterization with Enhanced Physical Interpretability
Haihao Shi, Zhenyang Huang, Junda Zhou +2
We introduce a novel parameterization of supernova neutrino energy spectra with a clear physical motivation. Its central parameter, , quantifies the characteristic thermal-d…
