A new approach to generate a catalogue of potential historical novae
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 341, Issue 1, Page 79-98, January 2020., 2020 Abstract Ancient Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese observers left us records of celestial sightings, the so‐called “guest stars” dated up to ∼2500 years ago. Their identification with modern observable targets could open interesting insights into the long‐term behavior of astronomical objects, as shown by the successful identification of eight galactic ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Motivated by the recent discovery of a low-surface-brightness diffuse emission, a supernova remnant (SNR) candidate, surrounding the young pulsar PSR J0837–2454, we carry out a likelihood analysis of the γ -ray data obtained by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 PSR J1101–6101 is an energetic young pulsar that powers the remarkable Lighthouse pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The pulsar belongs to the rare type of radio- and gamma-ray-quiet pulsars that are bright in hard X-rays.

Impact of Cosmic‐Ray Physics on Dark Matter Indirect Searches
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 The quest for the elusive dark matter (DM) that permeates the Universe (and in general the search for signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model at astronomical scales) provides a unique opportunity and a tough challenge to the high energy astrophysics community.

The Observer’s Guide to the Gamma‐Ray Burst Supernova Connection
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places emphasis on how observations, and the modelling of observations, have constrained what we know about GRB‐SNe.

Diverse Features of the Multiwavelength Afterglows of Gamma‐Ray Bursts: Natural or Special?
Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 The detection of optical rebrightenings and X‐ray plateaus in the afterglows of gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs) challenges the generic external shock model. Recently, we have developed a numerical method to calculate the dynamics of the system consisting of a forward shock and a reverse shock.

X‐Ray Pulsar Profile Recovery Based on Tracking‐Differentiator
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 The profile recovery is an important work in X‐ray pulsar‐based navigation. It is a key step for the analysis on the pulsar signal’s characteristic and the computing of time of arrival (TOA). This paper makes an argument for an algorithm based on the tracking‐differentiator (TD) to recover the profile from the low Signal‐to‐Noise Ratio (SNR) signals ...

A Broadband X-Ray Study of the Rabbit Pulsar Wind Nebula Powered by PSR J1418-6058
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report on broadband X-ray properties of the Rabbit pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the pulsar PSR J1418−6058 using archival Chandra and XMM-Newton data, as well as a new NuSTAR observation.

Astronomical Signatures of Dark Matter
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Several independent astronomical observations in different wavelength bands reveal the existence of much larger quantities of matter than what we would deduce from assuming a solar mass to light ratio. They are very high velocities of individual galaxies within clusters of galaxies, higher than expected rotation rates of stars in the outer regions of ...

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Core‐collapse supernovae are dramatic explosions marking the catastrophic end of massive stars. The only means to get direct information about the supernova engine is from observations of neutrinos emitted by the forming neutron star, and through gravitational waves which are produced when the hydrodynamic flow or the neutrino flux is not perfectly ...
