A comet with a bluish head and long, thin tail against background stars.

Bartlomiej Grzywacz in Poland captured #Comet R3 PanSTARRS low above the horizon on Thursday. Thank you, Bartlomiej! ☄️🔭📸

Just that DUNE should be build soon, and its terrestrial searches can also probe some parts of the same parameters space we are interested in, like for example this study inspirehep.net/literature/1...

Some good news, our paper on the impact of the LNV neutrino self-interactions just got accepted by PRL!
You can read a short summary I wrote about it on the N3AS website

Dr Yves Kini, victorious from his PhD defence!

Introducing DOCTOR Kini!

Will be visiting soon too, hoping I’ll get same weather as you

Happy Boxing Day!

They look also like supernova neutrinos, trapped inside the star

Do you love TDEs/ transients in general, and potentially living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest? I’m hiring a postdoc! Come work with me! 🔭🧪🎢

We made them in Poland too

Could add me? Thanks

Exciting news everyone! I am hiring a postdoc scholar to work with me at Oregon State Physics. If you love computational astrophysics, supernovae, and/or compact object mergers, this may be a great fit for you. More information here: aas.org/jobregister/...

As the heavy usage of „seem”indicates, I’m happy to find out if anyone knows other early works on this topic

It seems that her work was first cited by Pontecorvo in 1972 in his ICHEP contribution.
inspirehep.net/literature/1...

The second paper mentioning the secret neutrino interactions seems to be by Dimitri Yu. Bardin, Samoil M. Bilenky, and Bruno Pontecorvo from 1970. The work by Zofia Bialynicka-Birula is not mentioned in that article. inspirehep.net/literature/6...

OTD I found out that the secret neutrino interactions seem to have been first postulated by Zofia Bialynicka-Birula in 1964. inspirehep.net/literature/4...

Started making coffee to go in the morning. Yesterday I left it on the kitchen counter. Today in the car. There’s a nonzero chance it will make it to office with me by the end of next week
