Efficient Particle Acceleration in 2.5-Dimensional, Hybrid-Kinetic Simulations of Decaying, Supersonic, Plasma Turbulence
Keyan Gootkin, Colby Haggerty, Damiano Caprioli +1
Collisionless, turbulent plasmas surround the Earth, from the magnetosphere to the intergalactic medium, and the fluctuations within them affect nearly every field in the space sci…
Plasma Instabilities Dominate Radioactive Transients Magnetic Fields: The self-confinement of leptons in Type Ia and Core-Collapse Supernovae, and Kilonovae
Dhvanil D. Desai, Colby C. Haggerty, Benjamin J. Shappee +8
The light curves of radioactive transients, such as supernovae and kilonovae, are powered by the decay of radioisotopes, which release high-energy leptons through $β^+$ and $β^-$…
MO0NFALL: The Great Filter and Exo-Moon Occurrence
Casey Brinkman, Keyan Gootkin, Rena A. Lee +3
We observe neither life beyond Earth, nor moons around exoplanets, despite the prevalence of Earth-like planets across the galaxy. We suggest Moonfall as a possible mechanism to ex…
A New Catalog of 100,000 Variable \emph{TESS} A-F Stars Reveals a Correlation Between Scuti Pulsator Fraction and Stellar Rotation
Keyan Gootkin, Marc Hon, Daniel Huber +3
δ Scuti variables are found at the intersection of the classical instability strip and the main sequence on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. With space-based photometry providing…
