eROSITA-RU Tidal Disruption Events with Keck-I/LRIS: Sample Selection, Optical Properties, and Host Galaxy Demographics
Zirui Zhang, Yuhan Yao, Marat Gilfanov +10
We select seventy tidal disruption event (TDE) candidates among X-ray transients discovered during the eROSITA all-sky surveys in the Eastern Galactic hemisphere between December 2…
An Extremely Luminous Flare Recorded from a Supermassive Black Hole
Matthew J. Graham, Barry McKernan, K. E. Saavik Ford +17
Since their discovery more than 60 years ago, accreting supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) were recognized as highly variable sources, requiring an extremely…
Optically Overluminous Tidal Disruption Events: Outflow Properties and Implications for Extremely Relativistic Disruptions
Yuhan Yao, Kate D. Alexander, Wenbin Lu +22
Recent studies suggest that tidal disruption events (TDEs) with off-axis jets may manifest as optically overluminous events. To search for jet signatures at late times, we conducte…
Fast Luminous Extragalactic Transients in the VLA Sky Survey: Implications for the rates of Accretion-Induced Collapse Events, Fast Blue Optical Transients and Gamma Ray Burst Afterglows
Kritti Sharma, Vikram Ravi, Dillon Z. Dong +7
Radio wavelengths offer a unique window into high-energy astrophysical phenomena that may be obscured or too rapidly evolving to be captured at other wavelengths. Leveraging data f…
A luminous and hot infrared through X-ray transient at a 5 kpc offset from a dwarf galaxy
Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Raffaella Margutti +20
We are searching for hot, constant-color, offset optical flares in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data stream that are from any galaxy in public imaging data from th…
XMM-Newton Conclusively Identifies an Active Galactic Nucleus in a Green Pea Galaxy
Peter G. Boorman, Jiří Svoboda, Daniel Stern +23
Green Pea galaxies are a class of compact, low-mass, low-metallicity star-forming galaxies in the relatively local universe. They are believed to be analogues of high-redshift gala…
