Neutrinos from type Ia supernovae: The gravitationally confined detonation scenario

Warren P. Wright, James P. Kneller, Sebastian T. Ohlmann, Friedrich K. Röpke, Kate Scholberg, and Ivo R. Seitenzahl

Phys. Rev. D 95, 043006 (2017) - Published 21 February, 2017

Calculations indicate that neutrino emission from a supernova could be detected on Earth, possibly revealing how the star explodes.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Cosmic microwave background limits on accreting primordial black holes

Yacine Ali-Haïmoud and Marc Kamionkowski

Phys. Rev. D 95, 043534 (2017) - Published 24 February, 2017

The LIGO observation of black hole merger has revivified interest in the idea whether primordial black holes might comprise some or all of the dark matter. The authors scrutinize the impact of primordial black holes on the CMB, analytically calculating spherical accretion onto black holes. The paper provides stringent constraints on models purporting to connect dark matter to primordial black holes.
