Early Near-Infrared Excess and Rapid Disk-Corona Evolution in the Tidal Disruption Event 2024aepd
Yongxin Wu, Yanan Wang, Thomas M. Reynolds +38
The paper reports multi-wavelength observations of tidal disruption event 2024aepd, revealing an early near‑infrared excess and a rapid transition from a thermal X‑ray disk to a ha…
Unveiling the nature of G6096: a likely hierarchical triple system
Yinghao Xu, Xinlin Zhao, Song Wang +10
The authors re‑examine the object G6096, previously thought to be a wide binary with a compact companion, and using spectroscopy, radial‑velocity and astrometric analysis together…
The X-ray Variability of the Ultraluminous X-ray Sources in the NGC 4631 galaxy
Jiashun Chen, Jianfeng Wu, Zikun Lin
We perform a systematic study on the long-term X-ray variability for the five ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the NGC 4631 galaxy (X1-X5), using Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swif…
Radiation hydrodynamic simulations for the origin of quasi-periodic oscillations for accretion onto supermassive black holes
Yiyang Lin, Erlin Qiao, Jifeng Liu +2
Quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) has been detected in several accreting supermassive black hole (SMBH) systems, including active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and tidal disruption events…
Detection of disk-jet co-precession in a tidal disruption event
Yanan Wang, Zikun Lin, Linhui Wu +46
Theories and simulations predict that intense spacetime curvature near black holes bends the trajectories of light and matter, driving disk and jet precession under relativistic to…
IGR J17091-3624: Newly Formed Periodic Dips and Multiwavelength Activity During the 2025 Outburst
Zikun Lin, Yanan Wang, Shuyuan Wei +15
The black hole low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) candidate IGR J17091-3624 experienced a hard-state-only outburst in 2025. In this paper, we show that IXPE detected a series of intermit…
