SPROUT: A moving mesh hydro code using a uniformly expanding Cartesian grid

Soham Mandal, Paul C. Duffell

We present the publicly available moving-mesh hydrodynamics code Sprout. Sprout solves the equations of ideal hydrodynamics on an expanding Cartesian mesh. The expanding mesh can f…

Hydrodynamic mixing of accretion disk outflows in collapsars: implications for r-process signatures

Jennifer Barnes, Paul C. Duffell

The astrophysical environments capable of triggering heavy-element synthesis via rapid neutron capture (the r-process) remain uncertain. While binary neutron star mergers (NSMs) ar…

A 3D Numerical Study of Anisotropies in Supernova Remnants

Soham Mandal, Paul C. Duffell, Abigail Polin +1

We develop a suite of 3D hydrodynamic models of supernova remnants (SNRs) expanding against the circumstellar medium (CSM). We study the Rayleigh-Taylor Instability (RTI) forming a…

The Radio to GeV Afterglow of GRB 221009A

Tanmoy Laskar, Kate D. Alexander, Raffaella Margutti +27

GRB 221009A () is one of the closest known long -ray bursts (GRBs). Its extreme brightness across all electromagnetic wavelengths provides an unprecedented opportunity…

Scary Barbie: An Extremely Energetic, Long-Duration Tidal Disruption Event Candidate Without a Detected Host Galaxy at z = 0.995

Bhagya M. Subrayan, Dan Milisavljevic, Ryan Chornock +19

We report multi-wavelength observations and characterization of the ultraluminous transient AT 2021lwx (ZTF20abrbeie; aka ``Barbie'') identified in the alert stream of the Zwicky T…

Using Anisotropies as a Forensic Tool for Decoding Supernova Remnants

Abigail Polin, Paul Duffell, Dan Milisavljevic

We present a method for analyzing supernova remnants (SNRs) by diagnosing the drivers responsible for structure at different angular scales. First, we perform a suite of hydrodynam…
