An Analytic, Fully Relativistic Framework for Tidal Disruption Event Streams in Schwarzschild Geometry
Alexander J. Dittmann
We present an analytic and fully relativistic framework for studying the self-intersection of tidal disruption event (TDE) streams, restricting ourselves to the Schwarzschild space…
Molecular Gas Properties and CO-to-H2 Conversion Factors in the Central Kiloparsec of NGC 3351
Yu-Hsuan Teng, Karin M. Sandstrom, Jiayi Sun +16
The CO-to-H conversion factor ($α_\rm{CO}$) is critical to studying molecular gas and star formation in galaxies. The value of $α_\rm{CO}$ has been found to vary within and bet…
Microlensing Events in the Galactic Plane Using the Zwicky Transient Facility

We present spectral and temporal properties of all the thermonuclear X-ray bursts observed from Aql X-1 by the Neutron Star Interior and Composition Explorer (NICER) between 2017 J…
The early afterglow of GRB 190829A
S. Dichiara, E. Troja, V. Lipunov +19
GRB 190829A at z=0.0785 is the fourth closest long GRB ever detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory, and the third confirmed case with a very high energy component. We prese…
Instrumental Tip-of-the-iceberg Effects on the Prompt Emission of Swift/BAT Gamma-ray Bursts
M. Moss, A. Lien, S. Guiriec +2
The observed durations of prompt gamma-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are often used to infer the progenitors and energetics of the sources. Inaccurate duration measurem…
Identification of an X-ray Pulsar in the BeXRB system IGR J182191347
B. O'Connor, E. Gogus, D. Huppenkothen +25
We report on observations of the candidate Be/X-ray binary IGR J182191347 with \textit{Swift}/XRT, \textit{NuSTAR}, and \textit{NICER} during Type-I outbursts in March and June…
Candidate Tidal Disruption Event AT2019fdr Coincident with a High-Energy Neutrino
Simeon Reusch, Robert Stein, Marek Kowalski +46
The origins of the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux remain largely unknown. Recently, one high-energy neutrino was associated with a tidal disruption event (TDE). Here we present A…
Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, Om Sharan Salafia +52
The discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of gravitational-wave multi-messenger astronomy. Rapid identification…
Give Me a Few Hours: Exploring Short Timescales in Rubin Observatory Cadence Simulations
Eric C. Bellm, Colin J. Burke, Michael W. Coughlin +3
The limiting temporal resolution of a time-domain survey in detecting transient behavior is set by the time between observations of the same sky area. We analyze the distribution o…
Exploring the Dust Content of Galactic Halos with Herschel. IV. NGC 3079
S. Veilleux, M. Melendez, M. Stone +11
We present the results from an analysis of deep Herschel far-infrared observations of the edge-on disk galaxy NGC 3079. The PSF-cleaned PACS images at 100 and 160 um display a 25 k…
ALMA Imaging of a Galactic Molecular Outflow in NGC4945
Alberto D. Bolatto, Adam K. Leroy, Rebecca C. Levy +10
We present the ALMA detection of molecular outflowing gas in the central regions of NGC4945, one of the nearest starbursts and also one of the nearest hosts of an active galactic n…
A solar source of Alfvénic magnetic field switchbacks: {\em in situ} remnants of magnetic funnels on supergranulation scales
S. D. Bale, T. S. Horbury, M. Velli +17
One of the striking observations from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft is the prevalence in the inner heliosphere of large amplitude, Alfvénic magnetic field reversals terme…
