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…
X-ray Through Radio Observations and Modeling of the Soft X-ray Flash GRB 250419A
Genevieve Schroeder, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Gavin P. Lamb +24
Soft X-ray flashes (XRFs) are predicted from a variety of hypothesized phenomena, including "dirty fireballs" (relativistic jets with significant baryon loading), and gamma-ray bur…
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…
Late-time JWST/NIRCam Observations of the Extremely Long-duration GRB 250702B/EP 250702a and Its Host Galaxy
Huei Sears, Jean J. Somalwar, Ryan Chornock +22
We present JWST/NIRCam observations of the extremely long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 250702B taken at ~ 95 days post-GRB (observer frame). The observations of the host galaxy r…
Discovery of a Featureless Tidal Disruption Event at z~1 with the Wide Field Survey Telescope
Jiazheng Zhu, Zelin Xu, Ning Jiang +31
We report the discovery of tidal disruption event (TDE) WFST250820mmsw/AT2025wet by the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST). It exhibits a blue nuclear flare throughout th…
