We present X-ray and radio observations of the Fast Blue Optical Transient CRTS-CSS161010 J045834−081803 (CSS161010 hereafter) at t = 69–531 days. CSS161010 shows luminous X-ray (L x ~ 5 × 1039 erg s−1) and radio (L ν ~ 1029 erg s−1 Hz−1) emission. The radio emission peaked at ~100 days post-transient explosion and rapidly decayed. We interpret these observations in the context of synchrotron emission from an expanding blast wave. CSS161010 launched a mildly relativistic outflow with velocity Γβc ≥ 0.55c at ~100 days. This is faster than the non-relativistic AT 2018cow (Γβc ~ 0.1c) and closer to ZTF18abvkwla (Γβc …

Gravitational waves (GWs) provide a unique view of the universe. They directly probe the extreme gravity and extreme matter of compact objects like black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs) which is not always possible from traditional electromagnetic (EM) wave astronomy. The cataclysmic coalescence of compact object binaries is one of the loudest individual sources of GWs that can be detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Virgo Observatory. If one of the component is a NS, there is a possibility that the merger is bright in the EM spectrum. The relativistic astrophysics could launch a …

Hot and dense astrophysical environments such as the early universe, core collapse novae and binary neutron star mergers generate dense neutrino gases which can sub- sequently have an important effect on processes which occur in these environments. In this thesis we will present the results from several numerical simulations of these gases particularly in cases which are relevant to core collapse supernovae. These simulations employ fewer imposed spatial symmetries than those used in earlier works, and provide insight into behavior which may be expected to occur in three key regions of the explosion. We observe that when the neutrino gas …
