Successful Common Envelope Ejection and Binary Neutron Star Formation in 3D Hydrodynamics
Jamie A. P. Law-Smith, Rosa Wallace Everson, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +10
A binary neutron star merger has been observed in a multi-messenger detection of gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation. Binary neutron stars that merge within…
The Landscape of Galaxies Harboring Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei in the Local Universe
Sierra A. Dodd, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith, Katie Auchettl +2
We study the properties of the host galaxies of Changing-Look Active Galactic Nuclei (CL AGNs) with the aim of understanding the conditions responsible for triggering CL activity.…
The Young Supernova Experiment: Survey Goals, Overview, and Operations
D. O. Jones, R. J. Foley, G. Narayan +68
Time domain science has undergone a revolution over the past decade, with tens of thousands of new supernovae (SNe) discovered each year. However, several observational domains, in…
Obstacles to Constructing de Sitter Space in String Theory
Michael Dine, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith, Shijun Sun +2
There have been many attempts to construct de Sitter space-times in string theory. While arguably there have been some successes, this has proven challenging, leading to the de Sit…
Stellar Tidal Disruption Events with Abundances and Realistic Structures (STARS): Library of Fallback Rates
Jamie A. P. Law-Smith, David A. Coulter, James Guillochon +2
We present the STARS library, a grid of tidal disruption event (TDE) simulations interpolated to provide the mass fallback rate () to the black hole for a main-sequence star…
The Process of Stellar Tidal Disruption by Supermassive Black Holes. The first pericenter passage
Elena M. Rossi, Nicholas C. Stone, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are among the brightest transients in the optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray sky. These flares are set into motion when a star is torn apart by the tida…
The Host Galaxies of Tidal Disruption Events
K. Decker French, Thomas Wevers, Jamie Law-Smith +2
Recent studies of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) have revealed unexpected correlations between the TDE rate and the large-scale properties of the host galaxies. In this review, we…
Double-Peaked Balmer Emission Indicating Prompt Accretion Disk Formation in an X-Ray Faint Tidal Disruption Event
Tiara Hung, Ryan J. Foley, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +13
We present the multi-wavelength analysis of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT~2018hyz (ASASSN-18zj). From follow-up optical spectroscopy, we detect the first unambiguous case of…
