Overcoming High Energy Backgrounds at Pulsed Spallation Sources

Nataliia Cherkashyna, Richard J. Hall-Wilton, Douglas D. DiJulio +18

Instrument backgrounds at neutron scattering facilities directly affect the quality and the efficiency of the scientific measurements that users perform. Part of the background at…

Induced Rotation in 3D Simulations of Core Collapse Supernovae: Implications for Pulsar Spins

E. Rantsiou, A. Burrows, J. Nordhaus +1

It has been suggested that the observed rotation periods of radio pulsars might be induced by a non-axisymmetric spiral-mode instability in the turbulent region behind the stalled…

Black Hole Spin-Orbit Misalignment in Galactic X-ray Binaries

T. Fragos, M. Tremmel, E. Rantsiou +1

In black hole X-ray binaries, a misalignment between the spin axis of the black hole and the orbital angular momentum can occur during the supernova explosion that forms the compac…

Mergers of Black Hole -- Neutron Star binaries. I. Methods and First Results

Emmanouela Rantsiou, Shiho Kobayashi, Pablo Laguna +1

We use a 3-D relativistic SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) code to study mergers of black hole -- neutron star (BH--NS) binary systems with low mass ratios, adopting $M_{NS}/M…

Black Hole Spin Evolution: Implications for Short-hard Gamma Ray Bursts and Gravitational Wave Detection

Krzysztof Belczynski, Ronald E. Taam, Emmanouela Rantsiou +1

The evolution of the spin and tilt of black holes in compact black hole - neutron star and black hole - black hole binary systems is investigated within the framework of the coales…
