Neutrino Production Associated with Late Bumps in Gamma-Ray Bursts and Potential Contribution to Diffuse Flux at IceCube
Gang Guo, Yong-Zhong Qian, Meng-Ru Wu
IceCube has detected many TeV--PeV neutrinos, but their astrophysical origins remain largely unknown. Motivated by the observed late-time X-ray/optical bumps in some gamma-ray burs…
Tau lepton asymmetry by sterile neutrino emission -- Moving beyond one-zone supernova models
Anna M. Suliga, Irene Tamborra, Meng-Ru Wu
The mixing of active neutrinos with their sterile counterparts with keV mass is known to have a potentially major impact on the energy loss from the supernova core. By relying on a…
Multimessenger Asteroseismology of Core-Collapse Supernovae
John Ryan Westernacher-Schneider, Evan O'Connor, Erin O'Sullivan +4
We investigate correlated gravitational wave and neutrino signals from rotating core-collapse supernovae with simulations. Using an improved mode identification procedure based on…
Finding the remnants of the Milky Way's last neutron star mergers
Meng-Ru Wu, Projjwal Banerjee, Brian D. Metzger +6
The discovery of a binary neutron star merger (NSM) through both its gravitational wave and electromagnetic emission has revealed these events to be key sites of r-process nucleosy…
Active-sterile Neutrino Oscillations in Neutrino-driven Winds: Implications for Nucleosynthesis
Zewei Xiong, Meng-Ru Wu, Yong-Zhong Qian
A protoneutron star produced in a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) drives a wind by its intense neutrino emission. We implement active-sterile neutrino oscillations in a steady-state…
Fission and the r-process nucleosynthesis of translead nuclei in neutron star mergers
Samuel A. Giuliani, Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo, Meng-Ru Wu +1
We study the impact of fission on the production and destruction of translead nuclei during the r-process nucleosynthesis occurring in neutron-star mergers. Abundance patterns and…
New constraint from supernova explosions on light particles beyond the Standard Model
Allan Sung, Huitzu Tu, Meng-Ru Wu
We propose a new constraint on light (sub-GeV) particles beyond the Standard Model that can be produced inside the proto-neutron star core resulting from the core-collapse supernov…
