Observations of Repeating Tidal Disruption Events
Iair Arcavi, Thomas Wevers
The disruption of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) as tidal disruption events (TDEs) can produce transient flares across the electromagnetic spectrum. Such flares can be u…
Observations of X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions
Thomas Wevers, Joheen Chakraborty, Erwan Quintin +2
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel class of repeating nuclear transients, discovered exclusively in the X-ray band to date. Since their initial discovery in 2019, the QPE…
The Role of Stellar Spin in Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Ananya Bandopadhyay, Benjamin Amend, Eric R. Coughlin +3
The repeated tidal stripping of a star by a supermassive black hole, known as a repeating partial tidal disruption event (rpTDE), can give rise to a transient that rebrightens mont…
Spatially resolved optical and mid-infrared spectroscopy of SDSS1335+0728: implications for the origin of the Ansky event
P. Sánchez-Sáez, M. Masterson, L. Hernández-García +25
The galaxy SDSS1335+0728 brightened abruptly in December 2019 (the Ansky event) and has since been confirmed as the host of extreme X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) of debated…
Optical observations of candidate host galaxies of eight fast X-ray transients
Agnes P. C. van Hoof, Peter G. Jonker, Lieke Tommel +15
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are extragalactic flashes of X-rays with a typical duration of minutes to hours for which a variety of origins has been proposed and observed. To decip…
The Lazuli Space Observatory: Opportunities for time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy
T. Wevers, T. J. Maccarone, A. Palmese +14
Advancing time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy requires a multi-wavelength network of observatories capable of rapidly discovering, classifying, and characterizing transient p…
The Hubble Advanced Spectral Product (HASP) Program
John Debes, Ravi Sankrit, Travis Fischer +39
The Hubble Advanced Spectral Products (HASP) program is designed to robustly coadd Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) spectra within…
Overview of the New Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive
Ravi Sankrit, John Debes, Matthew Burger +34
The new Hubble Spectroscopic Legacy Archive (HSLA) provides coadded spectra of individual targets that have been observed with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) and the Space T…
The Lazuli Space Observatory: Architecture & Capabilities
Arpita Roy, Stuart Feldman, Pete Klupar +51
The Lazuli Space Observatory is a 3-meter aperture astronomical facility designed for rapid-response observations and precision astrophysics across visible to near-infrared wavelen…
