Flares Big and Small: a K2 and TESS View of ASAS-SN Superflares
Jesse Zeldes, Jason T. Hinkle, Benjamin J. Shappee +6
We investigate the flare-frequency distributions of 5 M-dwarfs that experienced superflares with energies in excess of erg detected by ASAS-SN. We use K2 and TESS short-c…
Investigating the Nature of the Luminous Ambiguous Nuclear Transient ASASSN-17jz
Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Jack M. M. Neustadt, Patrick J. Vallely +31
We present observations of the extremely luminous but ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-17jz, spanning roughly 1200 days of the object's evolution. ASASSN-17jz was discovere…
The Curious Case of ASASSN-20hx: A Slowly-Evolving, UV and X-ray Luminous, Ambiguous Nuclear Transient
Jason T. Hinkle, Thomas W. -S. Holoien, Benjamin. J. Shappee +22
We present observations of ASASSN-20hx, a nearby ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) discovered in NGC 6297 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). We observed ASAS…
Fundamental X-ray Corona Parameters of Swift/BAT AGN
Jason T. Hinkle, Richard Mushotzky
While X-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is common, the detailed physics behind this emission is not well understood. This is in part because high quality broadband s…
The Loudest Stellar Heartbeat: Characterizing the most extreme amplitude heartbeat star system
T. Jayasinghe, C. S. Kochanek, J. Strader +16
We characterize the extreme heartbeat star system MACHO 80.7443.1718 in the LMC using TESS photometry and spectroscopic observations from the Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle (MIKE…
The Rapid X-ray and UV Evolution of ASASSN-14ko
Anna V. Payne, Benjamin J. Shappee, Jason T. Hinkle +13
ASASSN-14ko is a recently discovered periodically flaring transient at the center of the AGN ESO 253-G003 with a slowly decreasing period. Here we show that the flares originate fr…
