Irregular Repeating Tidal Disruption Events due to Diffusive Tides
Shu Yan Lau, Ethan McKeever, Hang Yu
A repeating partial tidal disruption event (rpTDE) is typically modeled as a star on a bound orbit that is partially disrupted by a massive black hole (MBH) at each pericenter pass…
Gravitational Wave Measurement of the - Intrinsic Scatter at High Redshift
Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gültekin, Gabriella Agazie +109
The observed GWB spectrum is higher in amplitude than model predictions by a factor of 2-3. Using a semi-analytic model, we evaluate the effect of a high-scatter supermassive black…
Gravitational-Wave Constraints on Neutron-Star Pressure Anisotropy via Universal Relations
Victor Guedes, Siddarth Ajith, Shu Yan Lau +1
Neutron stars may exhibit pressure anisotropy arising from various physical mechanisms, such as elasticity, magnetic fields, viscosity, and superfluidity. We compute the tidal defo…
Universal Relations for Elastic Hybrid Stars and Quark Stars
Chun-Ming Yip, Shu Yan Lau, Kent Yagi
Some compact stars may contain deconfined quark matter, forming hybrid stars or quark stars. If the quark matter forms an inhomogeneous condensate in the crystalline color supercon…
Gravitational Radiation-Driven Chaotic Tide in a White Dwarf-Massive Black Hole Binary as a Source of Repeating X-ray Transients
Shu Yan Lau, Hang Yu
Eccentric white dwarf-massive black hole binaries can potentially source some extreme X-ray transients, including the recently observed quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions and tidal dis…
Pulsar Cyclic Spectroscopy in the Partial-Deconvolution Regime: Benefits & Limitations
Jacob E. Turner, Timothy Dolch, Paul B. Demorest +5
We explore possible advantages of cyclic spectroscopy for observations of pulsars in instances where full cyclic deconvolution is not feasible. We compute cyclic merits and full-de…
