Axion dark matter: How to see it?

YK Semertzidis, SW Youn - Science Advances, 2022 - science.org
The axion is a highly motivated elementary particle that could address two fundamental
questions in physics—the strong charge-parity (CP) problem and the dark matter mystery …

[HTML][HTML] Coalescence of black hole–neutron star binaries

K Kyutoku, M Shibata, K Taniguchi - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2021 - Springer
We review the current status of general relativistic studies for coalescences of black hole–
neutron star binaries. First, high-precision computations of black hole–neutron star binaries …

Flares, jets, and quasiperiodic outbursts from neutron star merger remnants

ER Most, E Quataert - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org

initial magnetic fields, we investigate the possibility of launching a jet-like outflow from the …

Axion-photon conversion in neutron star magnetospheres: The role of the plasma in the Goldreich-Julian model

SJ Witte, D Noordhuis, TDP Edwards, C Weniger - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
The most promising indirect search for the existence of axion dark matter uses radio
telescopes to look for narrow spectral lines generated from the resonant conversion of …

A low-mass binary neutron star: long-term ejecta evolution and kilonovae with weak blue emission

K Kawaguchi, S Fujibayashi, M Shibata… - The Astrophysical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the long-term evolution of ejecta formed in a binary neutron star (NS) merger that
results in a long-lived remnant NS by performing a hydrodynamics simulation with the …

Electromagnetic precursor flares from the late inspiral of neutron star binaries

ER Most, AA Philippov - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
The coalescence of two neutron stars is accompanied by the emission of gravitational
waves, and can also feature electromagnetic counterparts powered by mass ejecta and the …

Shock-powered radio precursors of neutron star mergers from accelerating relativistic binary winds

N Sridhar, J Zrake, BD Metzger, L Sironi… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
During the final stages of a compact object merger, if at least one of the binary components
is a magnetized neutron star (NS), then its orbital motion substantially expands the NS's …

Electromagnetic precursors to gravitational-wave events: numerical simulations of flaring in pre-merger binary neutron star magnetospheres

ER Most, AA Philippov - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The detection of gravitational waves from neutron star merger events has opened up a new
field of multimessenger astronomy linking gravitational-wave events to short gamma-ray …

Constraint on the Ejecta Mass for Black Hole–Neutron Star Merger Event Candidate S190814bv

K Kawaguchi, M Shibata, M Tanaka - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We derive the upper limit to the ejecta mass of S190814bv, a black hole–neutron star (BH–

Reconnection-powered fast radio transients from coalescing neutron star binaries

ER Most, AA Philippov - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
It is an open question whether and how gravitational wave events involving neutron stars
can be preceded by electromagnetic counterparts. This Letter shows that the collision of two …
