The maximum luminosity of fast radio bursts
Wenbin Lu, Pawan Kumar
Under the assumption that fast radio bursts (FRBs) are from coherent curvature emission powered by the dissipation of magnetic energy in the magnetosphere of neutron stars, we pred…
Fast radio burst source properties from polarization measurements
Wenbin Lu, Pawan Kumar, Ramesh Narayan
Recent polarization measurements of fast radio bursts (FRBs) provide new insights on these enigmatic sources. We show that the nearly 100% linear polarization and small variation o…
Post-Lasso Inference for High-Dimensional Regression
X. Jessie Jeng, Huimin Peng, Wenbin Lu
Among the most popular variable selection procedures in high-dimensional regression, Lasso provides a solution path to rank the variables and determines a cut-off position on the p…
Observational evidence for the formation of trapping horizons in astrophysical black holes
Raúl Carballo-Rubio, Pawan Kumar, Wenbin Lu
Black holes in general relativity are characterized by their trapping horizon, a one-way membrane that can be crossed only inwards. The existence of trapping horizons in astrophysi…
On the Missing Energy Puzzle of Tidal Disruption Events
Wenbin Lu, Pawan Kumar
For the majority of the tidal disruption event (TDE) candidates, the observed energy in the optical/near-UV bands is of order 10^{51} erg. We show that this observed energy is smal…
