Stepping Up Superradiance Constraints on Axions
Samuel J. Witte, Andrew Mummery
Light feebly-coupled bosonic particles can efficiently extract the rotational energy of rapidly spinning black holes on sub-astrophysical timescales via a phenomenon known as black…
A second radio flare from the tidal disruption event AT2020vwl: a delayed outflow ejection?
A. J. Goodwin, A. Mummery, T. Laskar +12
We present the discovery of a second radio flare from the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2020vwl via long-term monitoring radio observations. Late-time radio flares from TDEs are b…
The optical, UV-plateau and X-ray tidal disruption event luminosity functions reproduced from first principles
Andrew Mummery, Sjoert van Velzen
We reproduce the luminosity functions of the early-time peak optical luminosity, the late-time UV plateau luminosity, and the peak X-ray luminosity of tidal disruption events, usin…
Quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions years after a nearby tidal disruption event
M. Nicholl, D. R. Pasham, A. Mummery +61
Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous bursts of soft X-rays from the nuclei of galaxies, repeating on timescales of hours to weeks. The mechanism behind these rare systems i…
The Radio Counterpart to the Fast X-ray Transient EP240414a
Joe S. Bright, Francesco Carotenuto, Rob Fender +10
Despite being operational for only a short time, the Einstein Probe mission, with its large field of view and rapid localisation capabilities, has already significantly advanced th…
Fitting transients with discs (FitTeD): a public light curve and spectral fitting package based on evolving relativistic discs
Andrew Mummery, Edward Nathan, Adam Ingram +1
We present FitTeD, a public light curve and spectral fitting Python-package based on evolving relativistic discs. At its heart this package uses the solutions of the time dependent…
