In this article, the authors show that energy injected into an expanding supernova by a highly magnetic (B � 5 � 10 14 G)neutron starspinning at an initial period of Pi 2 20 m scan substantially brightens the lightcurve.Abstract:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated high-energy neutrino and cosmic ray production from fast-luminous optical transients (FBOTs) and the more general class of super-Luminous supernovae (SLSNe).

TL;DR: In this paper, the progenitors of both long and short duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are studied from multiple directions, including direct observations of GRBs and their host galaxies, parameters derived from modeling, both via population synthesis and direct numerical simulation, and an understanding of plausible analog GRB systems observed in the local Universe.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented early-time observations of the type I SLSN ASASSN-18km/SN 2018bsz in a galaxy at a redshift of 0.0267 (111 Mpc), making it the lowest redshift event discovered to date.

TL;DR: Ho et al. as discussed by the authors presented detailed observations of ZTF18abukavn (SN2018gep), which was discovered in high-cadence data from the Zwicky Transient Facility as a rapidly rising (1.4 ± 0.1 mag hr-1) and luminous (Mg, peak = -20 mag) transient.

Explaining the most energetic supernovae with an inefficient jet-feedback mechanism
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that the energetic radiation from corecollapse super-energetic supernovae (SESNe) is due to a long lasting accretion process onto the newly born neutron star (NS), resulting from an inefficient operation of the jet-feedback mechanism.

Formation of very strongly magnetized neutron stars - Implications for gamma-ray bursts
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that a convective dynamo can also generate a very strong dipole field after the merger of a neutron star binary, but only if the merged star survives for as long as about 10-100 ms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of pulsations in the persistent X-ray flux of SGR1806-20, with a period of 7.47 s and a spindown rate of 2.6 x 10(exp -3) s/yr.

Neutron star dynamos and the origins of pulsar magnetism
TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that most of the magnetic energy becomes concentrated in thin flux ropes when the field pressure exceeds the turbulent pressure at the smallest scale of turbulence, and the possibilities for dynamo action during the various (precollapse) stages of convective motion that occur in the evolution of a massive star are examined.

TL;DR: Differential photometry offers the most precise method for measuring the brightness of astronomical objects as mentioned in this paper, and it has been used extensively in the application of differential techniques from the earliest visual methods to photoelectric and CCD photometry.
