A Multiwavelength study of the ongoing Changing-look AGN AT2021fxu

Yukta Ajay, Muryel Guolo, Dheeraj Pasham

We present multiwavelength analyses of an active optical transient AT2021fxu which shows the appearance of previously absent broad emission lines in a recent optical spectrum, sugg…

The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole

Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63

A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…

A Transient "Changing-look'' Active Galactic Nucleus Resolved on Month Timescales from First-year Sloan Digital Sky Survey V Data

Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous +32

We report the discovery of a new ``changing-look'' active galactic nucleus (CLAGN) event, in the quasar SDSS J162829.17+432948.5 at z=0.2603, identified through repeat spectroscopy…

Live to die another day: the rebrightening of AT2018fyk as a repeating partial tidal disruption event

T. Wevers, E. R. Coughlin, D. R. Pasham +13

Stars that interact with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can either be completely or partially destroyed by tides. In a partial tidal disruption event (TDE) the high-density core…

The Tidal Disruption Event AT2021ehb: Evidence of Relativistic Disk Reflection, and Rapid Evolution of the Disk-Corona System

Yuhan Yao, Wenbin Lu, Muryel Guolo +29

We present X-ray, UV, optical, and radio observations of the nearby ( Mpc) tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2021ehb/ZTF21aanxhjv during its first 430 days of evolution. AT…

An elliptical accretion disk following the tidal disruption event AT 2020zso

T. Wevers, M. Nicholl, M. Guolo +25

[Abridged] We classify AT 2020zso as a TDE based on the blackbody evolution inferred from UV/optical photometric observations, and spectral line content and evolution. We identify…
