Kilonovae and Long-duration Gamma-ray Bursts
Marko RistiÄ, Brandon L. Barker, Samuel Cupp +5
Recent detections of kilonova-like emission following long-duration gamma-ray bursts GRB211211A and GRB230307A have been interpreted as originating from the merger of two neutron s…
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…
Not-Quite-Transcendental Functions For Logarithmic Interpolation of Tabulated Data
Peter C. Hammond, Jacob M. Fields, Jonah M. Miller +1
From tabulated nuclear and degenerate equations of state to photon and neutrino opacities, to nuclear reaction rates: tabulated data is ubiquitous in computational astrophysics. Th…
Physics-driven Explosions of Stripped High-Mass Stars: Synthetic Light Curves and Spectra of Stripped-Envelope Supernovae with Broad Lightcurves
Jing Lu, Brandon L. Barker, Jared Goldberg +5
Stripped-envelope supernovae (SESNe) represent a significant fraction of core-collapse supernovae, arising from massive stars that have shed their hydrogen and, in some cases, heli…
