Ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic neutrinos, with energies above 100 PeV, could be finally discovered in the near future. Measuring their flavor composition would reveal information about their production and propagation, but new techniques are needed for UHE neutrino telescopes to have the capabilities to do it.

One of the most interesting open questions in high-energy astrophysics concerns the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays: during their propagation, these charged particles are deflected by extragalactic and Galactic magnetic fields and, as a result, their arrival directions do not point directly to their sources, making their correlation with possible sources non-trivial to...

Measurement of the intracluster medium (ICM) in X-ray is being carried out with ever increasing influx of data from telescopes like Chandra, eROSITA, XRISM, XMM-Newton. The data we obtain from these telescopes is generally incomplete, uncertain (noisy) and convolved with complex instrument responses. Reconstructing multi-domain (spatial, spectral and temperature for example) images of the...

Astrophysical shocks play an important role a variety of processes such as supernovae, novae, and gamma-ray bursts. A shock-capturing radiation hydrodynamics scheme based on the Euler equations is developed for simulating the dynamics of gas in astrophysical systems. The scheme's validity is demonstrated by various test cases and comparison to analytically derived solutions. Since recent...

We present shell events of 4$\pi$-3D non-rotating 12.28 M$_{\odot}$ and 12.98 M$_{\odot}$ supernova progenitors simulated for a period of one-hour before core-collapse. The main interest is to study the interior shell properties (from the kinematic, thermodynamic to the chemical evolution) and their interactions for a period of one-hour before collapse. The high-resolution of these models as...

Cosmic rays (CRs) can be accelerated in voilent and magnetised astrophysical environment. Those with the highest energyies, up to 10^20 eV are likely associated with star-formation in galaxies and active galactic nuclei activities. Cosmological filaments connect these acceleration sites of CRs, as well as with voids. Due to hadronic pion-producing and photo-pair interactions, and entrainment...

Radio emissions of extensive air showers can be observed at the Pierre Auger Observatory with the AugerPrime radio detector (RD). As part of the AugerPrime upgrade, RD is being installed on $1660$ water-Cherenkov detectors on an area of about $3000 \text{ km}^2$ and consists of dual-polarized Short Aperiodic Loaded Loop Antennas (SALLA). To achieve high measurement precision, RD needs to be...

The Pierre Auger Observatory has detected downward terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) with its Surface Detector. A key to understanding this high-energy radiation in thunderstorms is to combine such measurements with measurements of lightning processes in their earliest stages.

Therefore as part of its monitoring, a system has been rolled out to detect thunderstorm conditions, enabling the investigation of thunderstorms and lightning using the Observatory’s hybrid detectors.

The northern track event selection utilizes the event topology in the IceCube to select track-like up-going events, which are produced by high-energy muons induced by muon-neutrinos which penetrated the Earth and reach the detector from the Northern sky. The Efficiency of the selection is limited by the quality of event reconstructions, which might misidentify down-going muon tracks as...

The IceCube collaboration has recently found evidence for connecting the blazar TXS 0506+056 to high-energy neutrino events.

Radio detection of cosmic rays has not only been shown to be complementary to classical detection methods but also advantageous as the full shower profile can be extracted, which in turn can provide more physical knowledge about the air shower than already known today. However, the full reconstruction of the profile requires an efficient 4-D imaging algorithm due to the strong spatial and...
