X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light

Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130

Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…

Unraveling the mysteries of supernovae with SKA+VLBI

Tao An, Zhengwei Liu, Ailing Wang +6

Supernovae (SNe) drive cosmic chemical enrichment and shape galactic feedback, yet the link between progenitors and explosion outcomes remains poorly constrained because the earlie…

Transforming X-ray Binary Astrophysics with SKA+VLBI

Tao An, Ailing Wang, James C. A. Miller-Jones +6

X-ray binaries (XRBs) are unique laboratories where accretion, jets, strong gravity and magnetic fields can be probed on humanly tractable timescales. The phased SKA-Mid operating…

Deep VLBI constraints on compact radio cores in four ultraluminous X-ray sources

Ailing Wang, Hua Feng, Tao An +7

We present high-sensitivity Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of four ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs): Holmberg II X-1, IC 342 X-1, NGC 6946 X-1, and NGC 925…

A Delayed Radio Flare Traces Kinetic Energy Injection in the SMBHB Candidate SDSS~J143016.05+230344.4

Tao An, Ailing Wang, Yingkang Zhang +12

SDSS~J143016.05+230344.4 () has been proposed as a candidate pre-coalescence supermassive black hole binary and shows remarkable multiwavelength variability. Its radio e…

High-redshift quasars at -- III. Parsec-scale jet properties from VLBI observations

Shaoguang Guo, Tao An, Yuanqi Liu +5

High redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) provide key insights into early supermassive black hole growth and cosmic evolution. This study investigates the parsec-scale properties…

Interactions between the jet and disk wind in a nearby radio intermediate quasar III Zw 2

Ailing Wang, Tao An, Shaoguang Guo +13

Disk winds and jets are ubiquitous in active galactic nuclei (AGN), and how these two components interact remains an open question. We study the radio properties of a radio-interme…

Is the X-ray bright z = 5.5 quasar SRGE J170245.3+130104 a blazar?

Tao An, Ailing Wang, Yuanqi Liu +11

Jets may have contributed to promoting the growth of seed black holes in the early Universe, and thus observations of radio-loud high-redshift quasars are crucial to understanding…

J2102+6015: a young radio source at z = 4.575

Yingkang Zhang, Tao An, Sándor Frey +7

Jets of high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGNs) can be used to directly probe the activity of the black holes in the early Universe. Radio sources with jets misaligned with res…

High-resolution VLBI observations of and modelling the radio emission from the TDE AT2019dsg

Prashanth Mohan, Tao An, Yingkang Zhang +3

A tidal disruption event (TDE) involves the shredding of a star in the proximity of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). The nearby (230 Mpc) relatively radio-quiet, thermal…
