A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…
AT2019azh: an unusually long-lived, radio-bright thermal tidal disruption event
A. J. Goodwin, S. van Velzen, J. C. A. Miller-Jones +7
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star is destroyed by a supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy, temporarily increasing the accretion rate onto the black hole…
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…
A Family Tree of Optical Transients from Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies
Sara Frederick, Suvi Gezari, Matthew J. Graham +17
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) has discovered five new events belonging to an emerging class of AGN undergoing smooth flares with large amplitudes and rapid rise times. This s…
Seventeen Tidal Disruption Events from the First Half of ZTF Survey Observations: Entering a New Era of Population Studies
Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari, Erica Hammerstein +34
While tidal disruption events (TDEs) have long been heralded as laboratories for the study of quiescent black holes, the small number of known TDEs and uncertainties in their emiss…
Probing the Jet Turnover Frequency Dependence on Black Hole Mass and Mass Accretion Rate
Erica Hammerstein, Kayhan Gultekin, Ashley King
We have examined a sample of 13 sub-Eddington supermassive black holes hosted by galaxies spanning a variety of morphological classifications to further understand the empirical fu…
