Self-lensing flares from black hole binaries II: observing black hole shadows via light-curve tomography
Jordy Davelaar, Zoltán Haiman
Supermassive black hole (BH) binaries are thought to produce self-lensing flares (SLF) when the two BHs are aligned with the line-of-sight. If the binary orbit is observed nearly e…
Self-lensing flares from black hole binaries I: general-relativistic ray tracing of black hole binaries
Jordy Davelaar, Zoltán Haiman
The self-lensing of a massive black hole binary (MBHB), which occurs when the two BHs are aligned close to the line of sight, is expected to produce periodic, short-duration flares…
Measuring the Non-Axially-Symmetric Surface Temperature Distribution of the Central Compact Object in Puppis A
J. A. J. Alford, E. V. Gotthelf, R. Perna +1
The surface temperature distributions of central compact objects (CCOs) are powerful probes of their crustal magnetic field strengths and geometries. Here we model the surface temp…
Evidence for a Compact Object in the Aftermath of the Extra-Galactic Transient AT2018cow
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Wynn C. G. Ho, William Alston +16
The brightest Fast Blue Optical Transients (FBOTs) are mysterious extragalactic explosions that may represent a new class of astrophysical phenomena. Their fast time to maximum bri…
A Detection of Red Noise in PSR J18242452A and Projections for PSR B1937+21 using NICER X-ray Timing Data
Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Jack Crump, Andrea N. Lommen +17
We have used X-ray data from the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) to search for long time-scale, correlated variations ("red noise") in the pulse times of arrival…
Multi-Messenger Constraints on Magnetic Fields in Merging Black Hole-Neutron Star Binaries
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Zoltan Haiman, Janna Levin +2
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration recently detected gravitational waves (GWs) from the merger of black-hole-neutron-star (BHNS) binary systems GW200105 and GW200115. No coincident…
