Next year weโ€™ll spend two months together in Oslo working on my Young CAS funded project on multimessenger emission from TDEs.

It was wonderful to host Teresa Bister, Damiano Fiorillo, Karri Koljonen, and Bing Theodore Zhang at NTNU to kick-off our Centre of Advanced Study Oslo Collaboration!

Researchersโ€™ Night at NTNU last Friday! Our group brought a 3D-printed mini-array of Auger surface detectors and talked to high school students about cosmic rays and black holes.

During #ICRC2025 we had the immense fortune to be shown around the Jungfraujoch research station. We saw, among other things, the neutron monitor and the guestbook signed by Pierre Auger and his students in 1934-38.

Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays from ultra-fast outflows of active galactic nuclei ABSTRACT. We investigate ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) in active galactic nuclei (AGN) as potential sources of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). We focu

A telltale sign that this is the case would be ~10 PeV neutrinos in spatial coincidence with UFO-hosting AGN, which may be found with e.g. likelihood stacking. Link to the paper academic.oup.com/mnras/articl...

We found that UHECRs from these environments can fill the transition region between Galactic and extragalactic CRs usually referred to as โ€žComponent Bโ€œ and that they explain the UHECR composition in this energy range surprisingly well.

Unravelling the origin of mysterious radiation Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we donโ€™t know why or where this radiation comes from.

A very nice popular summary of our recent work on whether ultra-high energy cosmic rays may be accelerated in AGN ultrafast outflows by @sbrandslet.bsky.social norwegianscitechnews.com/2025/05/unra...
