Resonant Shattering of Neutron Star Crusts
David Tsang, Jocelyn S. Read, Tanja Hinderer +2
The resonant excitation of neutron star (NS) modes by tides is investigated as a source of short gamma-ray burst (sGRB) precursors. We find that the driving of a crust-core interfa…

G-Mode Excitation During the Pre-explosive Simmering of Type Ia Supernovae
Anthony L. Piro
Prior to the explosive burning of a white dwarf (WD) that makes a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), the star "simmers" for ~10^3 yrs in a convecting, carbon burning region. I estimate the…

Supernova Fallback onto Magnetars and Propeller-Powered Supernovae
Anthony L. Piro, Christian D. Ott
We explore fallback accretion onto newly born magnetars during the supernova of massive stars. Strong magnetic fields (~10^{15} G) and short spin periods (~1-10 ms) have an importa…
