Inferring the Distances of Fast Radio Bursts Through Associated 21-cm Absorption
Ben Margalit, Abraham Loeb
The distances of Fast Radio Burst (FRB) sources are currently unknown. We show that the 21-cm absorption line of hydrogen can be used to infer the redshifts of FRB sources, and det…
The Diversity of Transients from Magnetar Birth
Brian D. Metzger, Ben Margalit, Daniel Kasen +1
Strongly-magnetized, rapidly-rotating neutron stars are contenders for the central engines of both long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernova…
Does the Collapse of a Supramassive Neutron Star Leave a Debris Disk?
Ben Margalit, Brian D. Metzger, Andrei M. Beloborodov
One possible channel for black hole formation is the collapse of a rigidly rotating massive neutron star as it loses its angular momentum or gains excessive mass through accretion.…
Constraining MOND Using the Vertical Motion of Stars in the Solar Neighborhood
Ben Margalit, Nir J. Shaviv
Stars with a different vertical motion relative to the galactic disk have a different average acceleration. According to Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) theories they should the…
Radio Flares of Compact Binary Mergers: the Effect of Non-Trivial Outflow Geometry
Ben Margalit, Tsvi Piran
The next generation gravitational waves (GW) detectors are most sensitive to GW emitted by compact (neutron star/black hole) binary mergers. If one of those is a neutron star the m…
