Cover Story: We provide a novel determination of the stellar initial mass function (IMF), relying on supernova (SN) and long gamma-ray burst (LGRB) observations. We assume flexible IMF parametrization, which we fit in order to reproduce a set of observational constraints for the cosmic rates of type Ia SNe, core-collapse SNe, and LGRBs, and for galaxy UV luminosity density as a function of redshift. Notably, we were able to obtain an independent IMF determination that is remarkably consistent with the widely-adopted Salpeter, Kroupa, and Chabrier IMFs. This approach offers the opportunity to study the IMF, its putative evolution with redshift, and the properties of SN and LGRB progenitors, especially considering the wealth of data promised by future surveys. View this paper

With advancements in gravitational wave detection technology, an increasing number of binary neutron star (BNS) merger events are expected to be detected. Due to the narrow opening angle of jet cores, many BNS merger events occur off-axis, resulting...

The r-process is one of the processes that produces heavy elements in the Universe. One of its possible astrophysical sites is the neutron star–black hole (NS-BH) merger. We first show that the neutrons can degenerate before and during the r-pr...

16 October 2024

We interpret the recent MicroBooNE data on neutral-current single π0 production on argon with the hypothesis that this process occurs via Delta excitation. We calculate the flux-integrated total cross section with our RPA-based model which allows...
