Progenitor models for the" luminous" subclass of Fast Blue Optical Transients (LFBOTs;
prototype: AT2018cow) are challenged to simultaneously explain all of their observed …

Observationally, kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of
nuclei heavier than iron, thought to be synthesized in the merger of two compact objects …

Calcium-rich explosions are very faint (MB∼− 15.5), type I supernovae (SNe) showing
strong Ca lines, mostly observed in old stellar environments. Several models for such SNe …

Recent surveys show that wide (> 104 AU) binaries and triples are abundant in the field. We
study the long-term evolution of wide hierarchical triple systems and the role played by the …

The merger of a white dwarf (WD) and a neutron star (NS) is a relatively common event that
produces an observable electromagnetic signal. Furthermore, the compactness of these …

Based on different neutron star–white dwarf (NS–WD) population models, we investigate the
prospects of gravitational-wave (GW) detections for NS–WD mergers, with the help of early …

Neutron star–white dwarf (NS+ WD) binaries offer a unique opportunity for studying NS-
specific phenomena with gravitational waves. In this paper, we employ the binary population …

We systematically investigate the mergers of neutron star–white dwarf binaries from
beginning to end, with a focus on the properties of the inflows and outflows in accretion disks …

The progenitors of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have long been an unresolved issue. GRB
230307A stands out as an exceptionally bright event, belonging to the long-duration GRBs …
