Journal ArticleDOI

Fast radio burst source properties and curvature radiation model

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the observed properties of fast radio bursts (FRBs) and a number of general physical considerations to provide a broad-brush model for the physical properties of FRB sources and the radiation mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Luminosity and cooling of highly magnetized white dwarfs: suppression of luminosity by strong magnetic fields

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the luminosity and cooling properties of highly magnetized white dwarfs with electron-degenerate cores, where cooling occurs by diffusion of photons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mergers of black hole–neutron star binaries and rates of associated electromagnetic counterparts

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the BHNS binary parameters on the merger ejecta properties and associated EM signals was studied and the authors found that most of the EM counterparts are detectable for high BH spin, small BH mass and stiffer NS EoS when NS disruption is significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast radio burst dispersion measure distribution as a probe of helium reionization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the statistical ensemble of the distribution of dispersion measures, with and without redshift information, to probe helium reionization through simulated data to redshift.
Journal ArticleDOI

Explaining GRB prompt emission with sub-photospheric dissipation and Comptonization

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that it is necessary to have a critical number of episodic energy injection events in the jet in addition to the electron-proton Coulomb coupling in order to inject sufficient energy to produce an output photon spectrum consistent with observations.
