Cover Story: Core-collapse supernovae are the violent deaths of massive stars, and these spectacular events happen only around once per century in our Milky Way. The next exploding nearby star will be one of the most exciting phenomena of the century. In particular, detecting gravitational waves will help us to understand their inner engines. In our work, we study the detectability of predicted gravitational waves with a detector network planned for the end of the 2020s and the early 2030s. We find that, for the most realistic explosion models, we will be able to reach source distances only within our galaxy, while this will not be possible for more-energetic explosions outside of the Milky Way. However, the sky localization will improve greatly with more detectors in the network. View this paper

Cosmic rays are relativistic particles that come to the Earth from outer space. Despite a great effort made in both experimental and theoretical research, their origin is still unknown. One of the main keys to understand their nature is the determina...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous explosions in the Universe and are powered by ultra-relativistic jets. Their prompt γ-ray emission briefly outshines the rest of the γ-ray sky, making them detectable from cosmological distanc...

The observed Tully-Fisher and Faber-Jackson laws between the baryonic mass of galaxies and the velocity of motion of stars at the edge of galaxies are explained within the framework of the model of accretion of galaxies around supermassive black hole...

The birth of gravitational wave astronomy was triggered by the first detection of a signal produced by the merger of two compact objects (also known as a compact binary coalescence event). The following detections made by the Earth-based network of a...

According to the weak formulation of the anthropic principle, all fundamental physical constants have just such values that they enabled the origin of life. In this survey paper, we demonstrate also that the current value of the Hubble–Lema&ici...

We studied the detectability and reconstruction of gravitational waves from core-collapse supernova multidimensional models using simulated data from detectors predicted to operate in the late 2020s and early 2030s. We found that the detection range...

A Mass Dependent Density Profile from Dwarfs to Clusters

  • Antonino Del Popolo and
  • Morgan Le Delliou

In this paper, we extend the work of Freundlich et al. 2020 who showed how to obtain a Dekel–Zhao density profile with mass dependent shape parameters in the case of galaxies. In the case of Freundlich et al. 2020, the baryonic dependence was o...

The level of technological development of any civilization can be gauged in large part by the amount of energy it produces for its use, but also encompasses that civilization’s stewardship of its home world. Following the Kardashev definition,...

Unveiling the mystery of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been the target of many multi-waveband observational and theoretical efforts during the last decades. The results collected by current and past space-based instruments have provided important insig...

Afterglow radiation in gamma-ray bursts (GRB), extending from the radio band to GeV energies, is produced as a result of the interaction between the relativistic jet and the ambient medium. Although in general the origin of the emission is robustly i...
