Double Compact Binary Merger Rate Density in Open Star Clusters: Black Holes, Neutron Stars, and White Dwarfs
Savannah Cary, Michiko Fujii, Long Wang +1
Studying compact-object binary mergers in star clusters is crucial for understanding stellar evolution and dynamical interactions in galaxies. Open clusters in particular are more…
Accretion from a shock-inflated companion: double-peaked supernova lightcurve with periodic modulations
Wenbin Lu, Savannah Cary, Daichi Tsuna
We study the observational signatures from the interactions between a newly born neutron star and a companion star that is impacted by the supernova ejecta. We focus on the cases w…
Accretion from a Shock-Inflated Companion: Spinning Down Neutron Stars to Hour-Long Periods
Savannah Cary, Wenbin Lu, Calvin Leung +1
Recent observations have unveiled a population of pulsars with spin periods of a few minutes to hours that lie beyond the traditional ``death line.'' If they originate from neutron…
A fast radio burst localized at detection to an edge-on galaxy using very-long-baseline interferometry
Tomas Cassanelli, Calvin Leung, Pranav Sanghavi +48
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration, luminous radio transients of extragalactic origin. These events have been used to trace the baryonic structure of the Universe us…
