What We Have Learned from NICER About Neutron Star Radii

M. C. Miller

The cores of neutron stars have a combination of density, temperature, and neutron-proton asymmetry that cannot be replicated in laboratories or understood using first-principles q…

Can tidal disruption event models reliably measure black hole masses?

C. R. Angus, A. J. Smith, D. Magill +15

Tidal disruption event (TDE) light curves are increasingly used to infer the masses of quiescent supermassive black holes (), offering a powerful probe of low-mass bla…

AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole

Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Zoë McGrath +69

We present the discovery of AT 2024wpp ("Whippet"), a fast and luminous 18cow-like transient. At a redshift of z=0.0868, revealed by Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of its fain…

High-energy Emission from Turbulent Electron-ion Coronae of Accreting Black Holes

Daniel Groselj, Alexander Philippov, Andrei M. Beloborodov +1

We develop a model of particle energization and emission from strongly turbulent black-hole coronae. Our local model is based on a set of 2D radiative particle-in-cell simulations…

The Radius of PSR J0437-4715 from NICER Data

M. C. Miller, A. J. Dittmann, I. M. Holt +12

Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) data have been used to estimate the masses and radii of the rotation-powered millisecond pulsars PSR J00300451, PSR J074066…

Large Language Model-driven Analysis of General Coordinates Network (GCN) Circulars

Vidushi Sharma, Ronit Agarwala, Judith L. Racusin +9

The General Coordinates Network (GCN) is NASA's time-domain and multimessenger alert system. GCN distributes two data products: automated "Notices" and human-generated "Circulars"…
