The X-ray counterpart to the gravitational-wave event GW170817
A long-standing paradigm in astrophysics is that collisions—or mergers—of two neutron
stars form highly relativistic and collimated outflows (jets) that power γ-ray bursts of short …

A possible relativistic jetted outburst from a massive black hole fed by a tidally disrupted star
Gas accretion onto some massive black holes (MBHs) at the centers of galaxies actively
powers luminous emission, but most MBHs are considered dormant. Occasionally, a star …

A compact degenerate primary-star progenitor of SN 2011fe
While a white dwarf (WD) is, from a theoretical perspective, the most plausible primary star of
a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia), many other candidates have not been formally ruled out. Shock …
