Let there be neutrons! Hadronic photoproduction from a large flux of high-energy photons
Matthew R. Mumpower, Tsung-Shung H. Lee, Nicole Lloyd-Ronning +4
We propose that neutrons may be generated in high-energy, high-flux photon environments via photo-induced reactions on pre-existing baryons. These photohadronic interactions are ex…
STROBE-X Mission Overview
Paul S. Ray, Peter W. A. Roming, Andrea Argan +54
We give an overview of the science objectives and mission design of the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-rays (STROBE-X) observatory, which has been…
White Dwarf-Black Hole Binary Progenitors of Low Redshift Gamma-ray Bursts
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Jarrett L. Johnson, Phoebe R. Upton Sanderbeck +2
Although there is strong evidence that many long GRBs are associated with the collapse of a massive star, tantalizing results in recent years have upended the direct association of…
Using the COSMIC Population Synthesis Code to Investigate How Metallicity Affects the Rates of Interacting Binaries
Ayanah L. Cason, Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Roseanne M. Cheng
We use COSMIC, a galaxy population synthesis code, to investigate how metallicity affects the rate of formation of massive stars with a closely orbiting compact object companion, t…
Simulations of Interacting Binary Systems -- Pathways to Radio Bright GRB Progenitors
Angel Hernandez, Roseanne M. Cheng, Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning +1
Although the association of gamma-ray bursts with massive stellar death is on firm footing, the nature of the progenitor system and the key ingredients required for a massive star…
