The Effect of the Velocity Distribution on Kilonova Emission

Chris L. Fryer, Aimee L. Hungerford, Ryan T. Wollaeger +7

The electromagnetic emission from the non-relativistic ejecta launched in neutron star mergers (either dynamically or through a disk wind) has the potential to probe both the total…

Multi-Messenger Diagnostics of the Engine behind Core-Collapse Supernovae

Christopher L. Fryer, Eric Burns, Aimee Hungerford +6

Core-collapse supernova explosions play a wide role in astrophysics by producing compact remnants (neutron stars, black holes) and the synthesis and injection of many heavy element…

Kilonova Detectability with Wide-Field Instruments

Eve A. Chase, Brendan O'Connor, Christopher L. Fryer +7

Kilonovae are ultraviolet, optical, and infrared transients powered by the radioactive decay of heavy elements following a neutron star merger. Joint observations of kilonovae and…

A Broad Grid of 2D Kilonova Emission Models

R. T. Wollaeger, C. L. Fryer, E. A. Chase +6

Depending upon the properties of their compact remnants and the physics included in the models, simulations of neutron star mergers can produce a broad range of ejecta properties.…

Interpolating Detailed Simulations of Kilonovae: Adaptive Learning and Parameter Inference Applications

M. Ristic, E. Champion, R. O'Shaughnessy +6

Detailed radiative transfer simulations of kilonovae are difficult to apply directly to observations; they only sparsely cover simulation parameters, such as the mass, velocity, mo…

Transport of Protostellar Cosmic Rays in Turbulent Dense Cores

Margot Fitz Axen, Stella S. S. Offner, Brandt A. L. Gaches +3

Recent studies have suggested that low-energy cosmic rays (CRs) may be accelerated inside molecular clouds by the shocks associated with star formation. We use a Monte Carlo transp…
