Exploding Core-Collapse Supernovae with Jittering Jets

open access: yes, 2011
We argue that jittering jets, i.e., jets that have their launching direction rapidly change, launched by the newly formed neutron star in a core collapse supernova can explode the star.

Search for Short‐Duration Transient Gravitational Waves Emitted by Neutron Star Glitches

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.
The observation rate of pulsar glitches is limited by their electromagnetic observations. There could be a population of the isolated neutron stars in the galaxy for which there is no electromagnetic observations, but they can produce gravitational waves. The all‐sky search for gravitational waves provides better localization of the source sky position

Environments of massive stars and the upper mass limit

open access: yes, 2011
The locations of massive stars (> 8 Msun) within their host galaxies is reviewed. These range from distributed OB associations to dense star clusters within giant HII regions.

Chemical Evolution of the Universe and its Consequences for Gravitational‐Wave Astrophysics

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.
Population properties of double compact object mergers (especially binary black holes) are sensitive to the metallicity dependent cosmic star formation history. The uncertainty of this quantity cannot be ignored and makes the interpretation of current gravitational wave observations difficult.

SN 2014C: A Metamorphic Supernova Exploded in the Intricate and Hydrogen-rich Surroundings

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of supernova (SN) SN 2014C, primarily emphasizing the initial month after the explosion at approximately daily intervals.

Towards Realistic Progenitors of Core-Collapse Supernovae

open access: yes, 2011
Two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamical simulations of progenitor evolution of a 23 solar mass star, close to core collapse (about 1 hour, in 1D), with simultaneously active C, Ne, O, and Si burning shells, are presented and contrasted to existing 1D models (

Heavy Elements and Electromagnetic Transients from Neutron Star Mergers

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.
Astro‐(physics) has made major leaps forward through the combined information provided by both gravitational waves and electromagnetic emission from the first detected neutron star merger event. This review provides an up‐to‐date overview of today's understanding of neutron star mergers and their electromagnetic emission and it discusses possible ...
