A fast rising tidal disruption event from a candidate intermediate mass black hole

C. R. Angus, V. F. Baldassare, B. Mockler +36

Massive black holes (BHs) at the centres of massive galaxies are ubiquitous. The population of BHs within dwarf galaxies, on the other hand, is evasive. Dwarf galaxies are thought…

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…

Tidal disruption events in the first billion years of a galaxy

Hugo Pfister, Jane Dai, Marta Volonteri +3

Accretion of stars on massive black holes (MBHs) can feed MBHs and generate tidal disruption events (TDEs). We introduce a new physically motivated model to self-consistently treat…

Black hole mergers from dwarf to massive galaxies with the NewHorizon and Horizon-AGN simulations

Marta Volonteri, Hugo Pfister, Ricarda S. Beckman +12

Massive black hole (MBH) coalescences are powerful sources of low-frequency gravitational waves. To study these events in the cosmological context we need to trace the large-scale…

Enhancement of the tidal disruption event rate in galaxies with a nuclear star cluster: from dwarfs to ellipticals

Hugo Pfister, Marta Volonteri, Jane Lixin Dai +1

We compute the tidal disruption event (TDE) rate around local massive black holes (MBHs) with masses as low as , thus probing the dwarf regime for the…

Real galaxy mergers from galaxy pair catalogs

Hugo Pfister, Massimo Dotti, Clothilde Laigle +2

Mergers of galaxies are extremely violent events shaping their evolution. Such events are thought to trigger starbursts and, possibly, black hole accretion. Nonetheless, it is stil…
