Thermal electrons in the radio afterglow of relativistic tidal disruption event ZTF22aaajecp/AT2022cmc

Lauren Rhodes, Ben Margalit, Joe S. Bright +11

A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star travels too close to a supermassive black hole. In some cases, accretion of the disrupted material onto the black hole launches a…

AT 2020nov: Evidence for Disk Reprocessing in a Rare Tidal Disruption Event

Nicholas Earl, K. Decker French, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +23

We present a detailed analysis of AT 2020nov, a tidal disruption event (TDE) in the center of its host galaxy, located at a redshift of . AT 2020nov exhibits unique feat…

Radio afterglows from tidal disruption events: An unbiased sample from ASKAP RACS

Akash Anumarlapudi, Dougal Dobie, David L. Kaplan +23

Late-time ( year) radio follow-up of optically-discovered tidal disruption events (TDEs) is increasingly resulting in detections at radio wavelengths, and there is growing ev…

An Untargeted Search for Radio-Emitting Tidal Disruption Events in the VAST Pilot Survey

Hannah Dykaar, Maria R. Drout, B. M. Gaensler +8

We present a systematic search for tidal disruption events (TDEs) using radio data from the Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) Pilot Survey conducted using the Australian Square…

FIRST J153350.8+272729: the radio afterglow of a decades-old tidal disruption event

Vikram Ravi, Hannah Dykaar, Jackson Codd +6

We present the discovery of the fading radio transient FIRST J153350.8+272729. The source had a maximum observed 5-GHz radio luminosity of erg s in 1986, bu…

NuSTAR and Chandra observations of new X-ray transients in the central parsec of the Galaxy

Kaya Mori, Charles J. Hailey, Shifra Mandel +14

We report NuSTAR and Chandra observations of two X-ray transients, SWIFT J174540.7290015 (T15) and SWIFT J174540.2290037 (T37), which were discovered by the Neil Gehrels Swif…

Comment on: "Low significance of evidence for black hole echoes in gravitational wave data"

Jahed Abedi, Hannah Dykaar, Niayesh Afshordi

In a recent publication (1612.00266), we demonstrated that the events in the first observing run of the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave observatory (aLIGO O1) showed tentative evi…

Hairy black holes in cubic quasi-topological gravity

Hannah Dykaar, Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann

We construct a class of five dimensional black hole solutions to cubic quasi-topological gravity with conformal scalar hair and study their thermodynamics. We find these black hole…

Echoes from the Abyss: Tentative evidence for Planck-scale structure at black hole horizons

Jahed Abedi, Hannah Dykaar, Niayesh Afshordi

In classical General Relativity (GR), an observer falling into an astrophysical black hole is not expected to experience anything dramatic as she crosses the event horizon. However…
