The Radio Properties of Extreme Coronal Line Emitters: Constraints on the Sub-parsec Environment
Noah Franz, Kate D. Alexander, Collin T. Christy +10
A tiny fraction () of galaxies display luminous, high-ionization metal emission lines, which may be persistent or variable. These extreme coronal lines (ECLs) are produced…
Extreme line profile variations in the repeating changing-look active galactic nucleus IRAS23226-3843
Wolfram Kollatschny, Dirk Grupe, Hartmut Winkler +7
IRAS23226-3843 has been identified as a highly variable Seyfert galaxy and even as a changing-look active galactic nucleus based on optical spectra. Here we present follow-up obser…
A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
Discovery of a giant radio outburst of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy SDSS J110546.07+145202.4
K. Ã. Gabányi, S. Komossa, A. Kraus +2
We have identified a high-amplitude radio outburst in the course of a large-sample study of the radio properties of narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies. We have analysed previous…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
Science objectives of the Einstein Probe mission
Weimin Yuan, Lixin Dai, Hua Feng +93
The Einstein Probe (EP) is an interdisciplinary mission of time-domain and X-ray astronomy. Equipped with a wide-field lobster-eye X-ray focusing imager, EP will discover cosmic X-…
