  1. 1. Gravitational collapse in bimetric gravity

    Author : Marcus Högås; Edvard Mörtsell; Tomi Koivisto; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bimetric gravity; bigravity; modified gravity; gravitational collapse; Bimetrisk gravitation; modifierad gravitation; gravitationskollaps; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : Einstein’s theory of general relativity has been the prevailing theory of classical gravity for over a century. Its observational consistency is unparalleled. There are however a few (arguably) serious short-comings. READ MORE

  2. 2. Was Einstein Wrong? : Theoretical and observational constraints on massive gravity

    Author : Marcus Högås; Edvard Mörtsell; David Mota; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gravity; Massive gravity; Bimetric gravity; Cosmology; Gravitational collapse; Gravitational waves; Observational constraints; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : For more than a century, Einstein's theory of general relativity has described gravitational phenomena with astonishing precision. However, for the theory to fit observations we need to add two elusive substances: dark energy and dark matter. Together they add up to 95% of the energy budget of the Universe. READ MORE

  3. 3. Supernovae seen through gravitational telescopes

    Author : Tanja Petrushevska; Rahman Amanullah; Ariel Goobar; Saurabh Jha; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; supernovae; strong gravitational lensing; star formation history; supernova rates; supernovor Gravitationslins; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, can act as gravitational lenses and magnify the light of objects behind them. The effect enables observations of very distant supernovae, that otherwise would be too faint to be detected by existing telescopes, and allows studies of the frequency and properties of these rare phenomena when the universe was young.

  4. 4. Neutrino interactions and axion emission impact on core-collapse supernova simulations

    Author : Aurore Betranhandy; Evan O'Connor; Jeremiah Murphy; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Core-Collapse Supernovae; simulations; CCSN; PNS; neutrino; axion; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Abstract : Core-Collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) are important phenomena in the scope of nucleosynthesis and, as the final stage of massive stars' life, they are key processes in the understanding of stellar evolution. They also are the birthplace of neutron stars and black holes, therefore they play a major role in the modelling and understanding of compact object mergers. READ MORE

  5. 5. On the emergent structures at cosmic dawn

    Author : Anton Vikaeus; Erik Zackrisson; Martin Sahlén; Andrea Pallottini; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Extragalactic astronomy and cosmology; structure formation; the first generation of stars and galaxies; gravitational lensing.; Astronomi med inriktning mot astrofysik; Astronomy with specialization in Astrophysics;

    Abstract : Recent developments have granted us the means necessary for studying the emergence of the very first luminous structures in the Universe. The beckoning of the first generation of stars marks the end of the cosmic dark ages – thus entering into the cosmic dawn. READ MORE
