An onset model of mutually catalytic self-replicative systems formed by an assembly of polynucleotides
Yasuji Sawada, Yasukazu Daigaku, Kenji Toma
Self-replicability is the unique attribute observed in all the living organisms and the question how the life was physically initiated could be equivalent to the question how self-…
High-energy neutrino emission associated with gravitational-wave signals: effects of cocoon photons and constraints on late-time emission
Riki Matsui, Shigeo S. Kimura, Kenji Toma +1
We investigate prospects for the detection of high-energy neutrinos produced in the prolonged jets of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs). The X-ray lightcurves of sGRBs show extended e…
Simultaneous Radio and Optical Polarimetry of GRB 191221B Afterglow
Yuji Urata, Kenji Toma, Stefano Covino +16
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous transients in the universe and are utilized as probes of early stars, gravitational wave counterparts, and collisionless shock physics…
Magnetic Reconnection in Black-Hole Magnetospheres: Lepton Loading into Jets, Superluminal Radio Blobs, and Multi-wavelength Flares
Shigeo S. Kimura, Kenji Toma, Hirofumi Noda +1
Supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei launch relativistic jets, as indicated by observed superluminal radio blobs. The energy source of these jets is widely discussed…
The Photon Ring in M87*
Avery E. Broderick, Dominic W. Pesce, Paul Tiede +48
We report measurements of the gravitationally lensed secondary image -- the first in an infinite series of so-called "photon rings" -- around the supermassive black hole M87* via s…
Synchrotron Polarization of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Shocks with Hydrodynamic-scale Turbulent Magnetic Field
Asuka Kuwata, Kenji Toma, Shigeo S. Kimura +2
Afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are emitted from expanding forward shocks, which are expected to have magnetic field much stronger than the interstellar field, although the o…
