Quantifying the impact of relativistic precession on tidal disruption event light curves
Diego Calderón, Ondřej Pejcha, Brian D. Metzger +2
The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impa…
The effect of relativistic precession on light curves of tidal disruption events
Diego Calderón, Ondřej Pejcha, Brian D. Metzger +1
The disruption of a star by the tidal forces of a spinning black hole causes the stellar stream to precess affecting the conditions for triggering the tidal disruption event (TDE).…
Science with a small two-band UV-photometry mission I: Mission description and follow-up observations of stellar transients
N. Werner, J. Řípa, C. Thöne +33
This is the first in a collection of three papers introducing the science with an ultra-violet (UV) space telescope on an approximately 130~kg small satellite with a moderately fas…
Direct evidence for shock-powered optical emission in a nova
Elias Aydi, Kirill V. Sokolovsky, Laura Chomiuk +39
Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions that occur on the surfaces of white dwarf stars in interacting binary systems (Bode & Evans 2008). It has long been thought that the lu…
The Type II-P Supernova 2017eaw: from explosion to the nebular phase
Tamás Szalai, József Vinkó, Réka Könyves-Tóth +36
The nearby SN 2017eaw is a Type II-P (``plateau') supernova showing early-time, moderate CSM interaction. We present a comprehensive study of this SN including the analysis of high…
A Comprehensive Analysis of Spitzer Supernovae
Tamás Szalai, Szanna Zsíros, Ori D. Fox +2
The mid-infrared (mid-IR) wavelength regime offers several advantages for following the late-time evolution of supernovae (SNe). First, the peaks of the SN spectral energy distribu…
