Compact Dark Objects in Neutron Star Mergers
Andreas Bauswein, Gang Guo, Jr-Hua Lien +2
We estimate the long-lasting gravitational wave (GW) emission of compact dark objects following a binary neutron-star (NS) merger. We consider compact dark objects, which initially…
Fast neutrino flavor conversion, ejecta properties, and nucleosynthesis in newly-formed hypermassive remnants of neutron-star mergers
Manu George, Meng-Ru Wu, Irene Tamborra +2
Neutrinos emitted in the coalescence of two neutron stars affect the dynamics of the outflow ejecta and the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements. In this work, we analyze the neutrino…
Elastic and Inelastic Scattering of Cosmic-Rays on Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Gang Guo, Yue-Lin Sming Tsai, Meng-Ru Wu +1
We revisit the signatures from collisions of cosmic-rays on sub-GeV dark matter (DM) in the Milky Way. In addition to the upscattered DM component that can be probed by existing DM…
Neutron Star Mergers as the Main Source of R-process: Natal Kicks And Inside-Out Evolution to The Rescue
Projjwal Banerjee, Meng-Ru Wu, Zhen Yuan
Binary neutron star mergers (BNSMs) is currently the most promising source of \textsl{r}-process thanks to the detection of GW170817. The estimated occurring frequency and the amou…
Lifting the core-collapse supernova bounds on keV-mass sterile neutrinos
Anna M. Suliga, Irene Tamborra, Meng-Ru Wu
We explore the energy and entropy transport as well as the lepton number variation induced from the mixing between electron and sterile neutrinos with keV mass in the supernova cor…
Probing Cosmic-Ray Accelerated Light Dark Matter with IceCube
Gang Guo, Yue-Lin Sming Tsai, Meng-Ru Wu
The direct detection of particle dark matter through its scattering with nucleons is of fundamental importance to understand the nature of DM. In this work, we propose that the hig…
Core-collapse Supernova Explosions Driven by the Hadron-quark Phase Transition as a Rare -process Site
Tobias Fischer, Meng-Ru Wu, Benjamin Wehmeyer +3
Supernova explosions of massive stars are one of the primary sites for the production of the elements in the universe. Up to now, stars with zero-age main-sequence masses in the ra…
