: An Accurate Photometric Classifier for Tidal Disruption Events

Robert Stein, Ashish Mahabal, Simeon Reusch +12

Optical surveys have become increasingly adept at identifying candidate Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) in large numbers, but classifying these generally requires extensive spectros…

VLASS tidal disruption events with optical flares I: the sample and a comparison to optically-selected TDEs

Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Dillon Z. Dong +11

In this work, we use the Jansky VLA Sky Survey (VLASS) to compile the first sample of six radio-selected tidal disruption events (TDEs) with transient optical counterparts. While w…

The first systematically identified repeating partial tidal disruption event

Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Yuhan Yao +13

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star enters the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). If the star only grazes the tidal radius, a fraction of the stellar ma…

Characterizing the Ordinary Broad-lined Type Ic SN 2023pel from the Energetic GRB 230812B

Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Vishwajeet Swain, Brendan M. O'Connor +39

We report observations of the optical counterpart of the long gamma-ray burst (LGRB) GRB 230812B, and its associated supernova (SN) SN 2023pel. The proximity () and high…

Panic at the ISCO: time-varying double-peaked broad lines from evolving accretion disks are common amongst optically variable AGN

Charlotte Ward, Suvi Gezari, Peter Nugent +12

About 3-10\% of Type I active galactic nuclei (AGN) have double-peaked broad Balmer lines in their optical spectra originating from the motion of gas in their accretion disk. Doubl…

A re-emerging bright soft-X-ray state of the changing-look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES~1927+654: a multi-wavelength view

Ritesh Ghosh, Sibasish Laha, Eileen Meyer +24

1ES1927+654 is a nearby active galactic nucleus that has shown an enigmatic outburst in optical/UV followed by X-rays, exhibiting strange variability patterns at timescales of mont…
