Structured GRB jet simulations find that local electron cooling shifts the synchrotron cooling break up by over a factor of ten, smooths the transition, produces steeper post-break slopes initially, and originates from a narrow frequency-dependent region behind the shock front.

Pulsational mass loss from supermassive stars ejects discrete shells that form the compact dense gas cocoons observed in Little Red Dots.
Free neutrons survive r-process freeze-out in fast ejecta of neutron star mergers and their beta-decay heating produces a visible early kilonova precursor for mass fractions above ~0.05.
Relativistic propagation in GRB afterglows filters intrinsic QPOs via equal-arrival-time integration, acting as a stationary low-pass filter for constant Gamma and a time-dependent filter causing frequency drift during deceleration.
Simulations of the BSD instrument for POLAR-2 show it can localize faint GRBs like GRB 170817A to about 1.5 degrees accuracy, meeting requirements for supporting GRB polarimetry.
Simulations indicate that an optimized CTAO strategy could detect GeV-TeV emission from about 5% of GW-associated short GRBs, with detectability depending strongly on jet and viewing angles.
PIC-motivated acceleration models for GRB afterglows predict a GeV-band synchrotron cutoff in low-density short GRBs that current Fermi-LAT data cannot distinguish from the Bohm limit but future observations could.
Next-generation CMB experiments are expected to detect thousands of strongly lensed galaxies to z~6 and proto-clusters, plus tens of thousands of local dusty galaxies and radio sources, enabling new studies of galaxy formation.

Moving-mesh simulations of spreading dynamics and local electron cooling in structured gamma-ray burst afterglow jets
Structured GRB jet simulations find that local electron cooling shifts the synchrotron cooling break up by over a factor of ten, smooths the transition, produces steeper post-break slopes initially, and originates from a narrow frequency-dependent region behind the shock front.
