Testing a Galactic Lensing Hypothesis with the Prompt Emission of GRB 221009A

Joshua S. Bloom

Even at modest amplification, the optical depth to gravitational lensing through the Galaxy is . However, the large apparent isotropic-equivalent energy of GRB 221009A co…

Tidal Disruption Event Demographics with the Zwicky Transient Facility: Volumetric Rates, Luminosity Function, and Implications for the Local Black Hole Mass Function

Yuhan Yao, Vikram Ravi, Suvi Gezari +26

We conduct a systematic tidal disruption event (TDE) demographics analysis using the largest sample of optically selected TDEs. A flux-limited, spectroscopically complete sample of…

Collapsars as Sites of r-process Nucleosynthesis: Systematic Near-Infrared Follow-up of Type Ic-BL Supernovae

Shreya Anand, Jennifer Barnes, Sheng Yang +41

One of the open questions following the discovery of GW170817 is whether neutron star mergers are the only astrophysical sites capable of producing -process elements. Simulation…

A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole

Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…

A radio-detected Type Ia supernova with helium-rich circumstellar material

Erik C. Kool, Joel Johansson, Jesper Sollerman +34

Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are thermonuclear explosions of degenerate white dwarf (WD) stars destabilized by mass accretion from a companion star, but the nature of their progenit…
