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…
Tidal disruption events with SPH-EXA: resolving the return of the stream
Noah Kubli, Alessia Franchini, Eric R. Coughlin +4
In a tidal disruption event (TDE), a star is disrupted by the tidal field of a massive black hole, creating a debris stream that returns to the black hole, forms an accretion flow,…
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…
Limits on the Ejecta Mass During the Search for Kilonovae Associated with Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers: A case study of S230518h, GW230529, S230627c and the Low-Significance Candidate S240422ed
M. Pillas, S. Antier, K. Ackley +78
Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers, detectable via their gravitational-wave (GW) emission, are expected to produce kilonovae (KNe). Four NSBH candidates have been identified an…
A Luminous Red Optical Flare and Hard X-ray Emission in the Tidal Disruption Event AT2024kmq
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Yuhan Yao, Tatsuya Matsumoto +30
We present the optical discovery and multiwavelength follow-up observations of AT2024kmq, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) associated with a supermassive ($M_{\rm BH}\sim 10^{…
