Optical and X-ray emission from stable millisecond magnetars formed from the merger of binary neutron stars by Metzger, Brian D., Piro, Anthony L.

“…The coalescence of binary neutron stars (NSs) may in some cases produce a stable massive NS remnant rather than a black hole. Due to the substantial angular…”

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE RISING LIGHT CURVES OF RADIOACTIVELY POWERED SUPERNOVAE? by Piro, Anthony L, Nakar, Ehud

“…The light curve of the explosion of a star with a radius #10-100 R# is powered mostly by radioactive decay. Observationally, such events are dominated by…”

Tidal Heating of Exomoons in Resonance and Implications for Detection by Tokadjian, Armen, Piro, Anthony L.

“…Abstract The habitability of exoplanets can be strongly influenced by the presence of an exomoon, and in some cases the exomoon itself could be a possible…”
