Gamma-ray signature of superluminous supernovae: Fermi-LAT GeV detection of SN 2017egm and evidence of a central engine

F. Acero, A. Acharyya, A. Adelfio +116

Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are a rare class of transients with peak luminosities 10-100 times greater than those of standard core-collapse supernovae (SNe). The mechanisms po…

Neutrino and electromagnetic signatures from Superluminous Supernovae: a case study for SN 2017egm

Mainak Mukhopadhyay, Shigeo S. Kimura, Indrek Vurm +1

Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are rare transients that are times more luminous than ordinary stellar explosions, reaching peak optical luminosities $\sim 10^{44}…

Radiation Transport Simulations of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions from Star-Disk Collisions

Indrek Vurm, Itai Linial, Brian D. Metzger

Periodic collisions between a star on an inclined orbit around a supermassive black hole and its accretion disk offers a promising explanation for X-ray "quasi-periodic eruptions"…

Superbubbles as the source of dynamical friction: gas migration, stellar and dark matter contributions

Rain Kipper, Indrek Vurm, Aikaterini Niovi Triantafyllaki +2

[Abridged] The gas distribution in galaxies is smooth on large scales, but is usually time-dependent and inhomogeneous on smaller scales. The time-dependence originates from proces…

Back to the present: A general treatment for the tidal field from the wake of dynamical friction

Rain Kipper, Peeter Tenjes, María Benito +6

Dynamical friction can be a valuable tool for inferring dark matter properties that are difficult to constrain by other methods. Most applications of dynamical friction calculation…
