Las Cumbres Observatory Gravitational-Wave Follow-up in the Third and Fourth Observing Runs: Strengths and Weaknesses of a Rapid Response Galaxy Targeted Strategy

Ido Keinan, Iair Arcavi, D. Andrew Howell +34

We present a summary of gravitational-wave (GW) follow-up using the Las Cumbres Observatory global network of telescopes during the third (O3) and fourth (O4) observing runs of the…

Resolving the (Debate About) Nozzle Shocks in Tidal Disruption Events

Zachary L. Andalman, Eliot Quataert, Eric R. Coughlin +1

When a star passes within the Roche limit of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), it is pulled apart by the BH's tidal field in a tidal disruption event (TDE). The resulting flare is…

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…

Direct Inference of Nuclear Equation-of-State Parameters from Gravitational-Wave Observations

Brendan T. Reed, Cassandra L. Armstrong, Rahul Somasundaram +4

The observation of neutron star mergers with gravitational waves (GWs) has provided a new method to constrain the dense-matter equation of state (EOS) and to better understand its…

Repeating Nuclear Transients from Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events

Ananya Bandopadhyay, Eric R. Coughlin, Julia Fancher +2

Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A s…

AT2024lhc and AT2024kmq in the landscape of featureless tidal disruption events

Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Andrew Mummery +39

We study AT2024kmq and AT2024lhc, two tidal disruption events (TDEs) with blue featureless spectra associated with high-mass black holes (). Both even…
