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…
Tidal Interactions in Merging White Dwarf Binaries
Anthony L. Piro
The recently discovered system J0651 is the tightest known detached white dwarf (WD) binary. Since it has not yet initiated Roche-lobe overflow, it provides a relatively clean envi…
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…
