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…
Inefficient Circularization, Delayed Stream-Disk Interaction and Reprocessing: A Five-Stage Model for the Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Tidal Disruption Event EP240222a
Wenkai Li, Ning Jiang, Tinggui Wang +7
EP240222a is the first intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) tidal disruption event (TDE) captured in real-time with multi-wavelength observations and spectroscopic confirmation. How…
The Faintest, Extremely Variable X-ray Tidal Disruption Event from a Supermassive Black Hole Binary?
Mengqiu Huang, Yongquan Xue, Shuo Li +30
Tidal disruption events (TDEs), which occur when stars enter the tidal radii of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and are subsequently torn apart by their tidal forces, represent in…
A Star's Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Runaway Periodic Eruptions of AT2023uqm
Yibo Wang, Tingui Wang, Shifeng Huang +37
Stars on bound orbits around a supermassive black hole may undergo repeated partial tidal disruption events (rpTDEs), producing periodic flares. While several candidates have been…
Prospects for Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Science with eXTP
Shu-Xu Yi, Wen Zhao, Ren-Xin Xu +75
In this new era of time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy, various new transients and new phenomena are constantly being discovered thanks to the rapid advances in observations,…
Probing the Strong Gravity Region of Black Holes with eXTP
Qingcui Bu, Cosimo Bambi, Lijun Gou +42
We present the novel capabilities of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to study the strong gravity region around stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binary sys…
