Fall 2019
Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the Universe, with densities in their cores that are larger than that of the atomic nucleus. Their relatively small size allows them to spin very rapidly, with speeds at the equator that are a large fraction of the speed of light. Being some of the...

Fall 2022
Neutron stars are interesting due to their extremely large densities (∼ 1015 g/cm^3), and also because the accretion of matter from a companion star can spin them up to very high frequencies (∼716 Hz based on observations ). When we study black holes (BH), the only thing that we have to worry...

Fall 2023
We examine the long-term evolution of accretion tori around the remnants of compact object mergers and the explosions of highly magnetized massive stars to better understand their roles in the creation of optical transients and the synthesis of r-process elements. We begin by modifying the...
