Seeing Double: The Theory Defying Twin Flares of TDE 2022dbl
Xinze Guo, Ryan Chornock, Raffaella Margutti +13
Partial tidal disruption events, in which a star survives a close passage by a supermassive black hole and may be disrupted again on a subsequent encounter, provide a unique probe…
An Off-Nuclear Tidal Disruption Event Discovered At Late Times: The Case Of TDE 2023mfm
Itai Sfaradi, Ryan Chornock, Yuhan Yao +24
We present the discovery and analysis of the optically selected tidal disruption event (TDE) 2023mfm, which originates from a wandering massive black hole (MBH) in a massive ($\sim…
First Pre-peak Ultraviolet Spectrum of a Tidal Disruption Event: A Fast Outflow Revealed Prior to Maximum Light in TDE2025aarm
Erica Hammerstein, Ryan Chornock, Jean Somalwar +32
The tidal disruption and eventual accretion of a star by a massive black hole can lead to the launching of outflows and winds that encode important information about the tidal disr…
A Proliferated Space Architecture for Time-Domain Astrophysics
Daniel Kocevski, Eric Burns, Thomas Barclay +58
Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (TDAMM) is entering a discovery-rich but follow-up-limited era, creating an urgent need for responsive, multiwavelength space-based cap…
Radio Observations of the Unusual Tidal Disruption Event AT 2022wtn: a Fast and Highly Energetic Outflow
Gavin Farley, Tanmoy Laskar, Noah Franz +11
We present multi-epoch, multi-frequency radio observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT 2022wtn, obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and Giant Metrewa…
JWST observations of SN 2024abup: First Detection of CO in a broad-lined Type Ic Supernova and Constraints on r-process Nucleosynthesis
Manisha Shrestha, Lindsey A. Kwok, David J. Sand +42
SN 2024abup is a nearby broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-bl) in NGC 0681 at a distance of 23.3 \pm 1.6 Mpc. As energetic explosions of massive stars, SNe Ic-bl are considered a…
VLA Observations Confirm AT 2023mfm as an Off-nuclear Tidal Disruption Event
Wenkai Li, Collin T. Christy, Kate D. Alexander +15
We report new radio observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT 2023mfm, which we identified as a high-confidence candidate in a systematic search for off-nuclear TDEs. Hig…
First Detection of Faraday Rotation in a Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow: Low Polarization and High Rotation Measure in GRB 260310A Reveal Jet Magnetic Structure and Environment
Collin T. Christy, Tanmoy Laskar, Kate D. Alexander +10
We report the detection of linear polarization in the radio afterglow of GRB 260310A, representing the first centimeter-wavelength polarization detection of a gamma-ray burst (GRB)…
TDE 2025abcr: A Tidal Disruption Event in the Outskirts of a Massive Galaxy
Robert Stein, Jonathan Carney, Charlotte Ward +27
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) have traditionally been discovered in optical sky surveys through targeted searches of nuclear transients. However, it is expected that some TDEs wil…
An infrared echo from a circumstellar disk in the hydrogen- and helium-poor SN 2024aecx
Samaporn Tinyanont, Kittipong Wangnok, Jennifer E. Andrews +34
We present near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy of the hydrogen- and helium-poor (Type Ic) supernova (SN) 2024aecx, which displays a strong NIR excess emerging 32 days post peak. SN 20…
