Cover Story: In 1054 AD, Chinese astronomers carefully observed a new star for two years.
Native Americans, and people in Belgium, Rome, Constantinople and Cairo, according to the new interpretation of the historical documents, observed this celestial phenomenon in its highest energetic phase, when it was still under the horizon of China, with thousands killed by radiation burns.
The artist's impression of this new picture proposed by Remo Ruffini and Costantino Sigismondi of ICRANet/Pescara, Italy, includes the energetics of GRB190114C, extrapolated to present and rescaled at 7000 light years from Earth, in the Crab Nebula, originated by that explosion. Drawing by Laura Manfrini, Pescara, Italy. View this paper

Dissipative Kinematics in Binary Neutron Star Mergers

  • Sreemoyee Sarkar and
  • Souvik Priyam Adhya

22 July 2024

We highlight the recent progress in the calculation of transport coefficients pertinent to binary neutron star mergers. Specifically, we analyze the bulk viscosity coefficient driven by both the DURCA and MURCA processes and electron transport coeffi...

Considering the interaction among matter, vacuum, and radiation, this paper investigates the evolution of cosmic dynamics of the varying-vacuum model in a case of Finslerian geometry through dynamic analysis methods. Surprisingly, this model can alle...

We estimate the magnetic moment of electron neutrinos by computing the neutrino chirality flip rate that can occur in the core of a strange quark matter neutron star at birth. We show that this process allows neutrinos to anisotropically escape, thus...

  • José Padua-Argüelles

13 July 2024

Effective spin foams provide the most computationally efficient spin foam models yet and are therefore ideally suited for applications, e.g., to quantum cosmology. Here, we provide the first effective spin foam computations of a finite time evolution...
