About
T. Feusels is a high-energy astrophysicist whose research centers on the transient universe, with a particular focus on neutrino astrophysics and the connection between supernovae and cosmic rays. Their most notable contribution comes from the IceCube optical follow-up program, where they led a search for soft relativistic jets in core-collapse supernovae. This work, published in 2012 and cited 57 times, established crucial observational constraints on the theoretical link between stellar explosions and high-energy neutrino production. Feusels helped pioneer the methodology for connecting neutrino detections with optical transient surveys, a technique now fundamental to multimessenger astronomy. Their research addresses a key question: whether core-collapse supernovae can host mildly relativistic jets capable of accelerating particles to extreme energies, bridging the gap between ordinary supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. This work has shaped subsequent observational strategies for identifying transient neutrino sources and remains influential in the ongoing effort to understand the most violent explosions in the universe.
