The next generation of neutrino telescopes, including Baikal-GVD, KM3NeT, P-ONE, TAMBO, IceCube-Gen2 and TRIDENT, will be able to determine the flavor of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos precisely. With the aid of future neutrino oscillation experiments --- in particular JUNO, DUNE, and Hyper-Kamiokande --- the regions of flavor composition at Earth that are allowed by neutrino...
If collapsars are sources for both high-energy (HE) neutrinos and r-process nuclei, the profuse low-energy antineutrinos from beta-decay of the newly synthesized nuclei can annihilate the HE neutrinos. Considering HE neutrinos produced at internal shocks induced by intermittent mildly-magnetized jets, we show that such annihilation suppresses the overall HE neutrino spectrum above 300 TeV and...
About 90% of stars end up as white dwarfs, and there should be about 10 billion white dwarfs in the Milky Way alone. It is well-known that a white dwarf reaching the Chandrasekhar limit of about 1.4 solar masses may undergo a thermonuclear explosion (type Ia supernova). However, it may also go through the Accretion-Induced Collapse (AIC) due to electron capture by neon and magnesium at its...
