JWST/MIRI Spectroscopy of the Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Binary XTE J1118+480: Constraints on Jet and Circumbinary Dust Contributions to the Mid-infrared Emission

Zihao Zuo, Elena Gallo, Nuria Calvet +9

We report on JWST/MIRI low-resolution spectroscopy (-m) and imaging (-m) of the black hole X-ray binary XTE~J1118+480 in quiescence, at an X-ray luminosity nine…

A Multiwavelength Assessment Disfavoring the X-ray Binary Origin of He III Regions in Metal-Poor Star-Forming Dwarf Galaxies

Ivan Altunin, Christopher Ellis, Richard M. Plotkin +9

Recent observations of metal-poor, star-forming dwarf galaxies reveal He III regions, traced by nebular He II 4686 emission that require a strong source of extreme-ultraviolet (EUV…

Systematic Monitoring of Extreme X-ray Variability from Weak-line Quasars

Madison Reich, W. N. Brandt, Bin Luo +5

We present the results of a multi-cycle Chandra program to systematically monitor the X-ray variability of 10 weak-line quasars (WLQs) that previously had limited multi-epoch X-ray…

A multi-wavelength study of the 2025 low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi

A. W. Shaw, K. Mukai, C. O. Heinke +18

We present multi-wavelength observations of the first recorded low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi. Optical monitoring of the source by members of the American Association o…

Ruling Out Compact Jets as the Dominant Source of Radio Emission in Radio-quiet, High Eddington-ratio Active Galactic Nuclei

Jeremiah D. Paul, Richard M. Plotkin

The origin of core radio emission in radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is still actively debated. General relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations often predict the la…

AT2022zod: An Unusual Tidal Disruption Event in an Elliptical Galaxy at Redshift 0.11

Kristen C. Dage, Phelipe Darc, Thallis Pessi +16

Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) have long been hypothesized as valuable indicators of black holes, offering insight into their demographics and behaviour out to high redshift. TDEs…
