Transient Stellar Collisions as Multimessenger Probes: Nonthermal, Gravitational-wave Emission and the Cosmic Ladder Argument

In dense stellar clusters like galactic nuclei and globular clusters, stellar densities are so high that stars might physically collide with each other. In galactic nuclei the energy and power output can be close to, and even exceed, those from supernovae events. We address the event rate and the el...
