Multi-Frequency General Relativistic Radiation-Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Thin Disks
P. Chris Fragile, Peter Anninos, Nathaniel Roth +1
We present a set of six general relativistic, multi-frequency, radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of thin accretion disks with different target mass accretion rates around b…
An asymmetric electron-scattering photosphere around optical tidal disruption events
Giorgos Leloudas, Mattia Bulla, Aleksandar Cikota +10
A star crossing the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole will be spectacularly ripped apart with an accompanying burst of radiation. A few tens of such tidal disruption events…
Resolution Study of Thermonuclear Initiation in White Dwarf Tidal Disruption Events
Peter Anninos, Karen D. Camarda, Brooke Estes-Myers +1
We study the initiation of thermonuclear detonations in tidally disrupted white dwarf stars by intermediate-mass () black holes. The length scales required to resolve…
Dynamical Unification of Tidal Disruption Events
Lars Lund Thomsen, Tom Kwan, Lixin Dai +2
About a hundred tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been observed and they exhibit a wide range of emission properties both at peak and over their lifetimes. Some TDEs peak predomi…
Distinguishing Tidal Disruption Events from Impostors
Ann Zabludoff, Iair Arcavi, Stephanie La Massa +15
Recent claimed detections of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in multi-wavelength data have opened potential new windows into the evolution and properties of otherwise dormant superm…
TDE Hosts are Green and Centrally Concentrated: Signatures of a Post-Merger System
Erica Hammerstein, Suvi Gezari, Sjoert van Velzen +17
We study the properties of the galaxies hosting the first 19 tidal disruption events (TDEs) detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) within the context of a carefully cons…
