Quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions years after a nearby tidal disruption event
M. Nicholl, D. R. Pasham, A. Mummery +61
Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous bursts of soft X-rays from the nuclei of galaxies, repeating on timescales of hours to weeks. The mechanism behind these rare systems i…
The size of accretion disks from self-consistent X-ray spectra and UV/optical/NIR photometry fitting: applications to ASASSN-14li and HLX-1
Muryel Guolo, Andrew Mummery
We implement a standard thin disk model with the outer disk radius () as a free parameter, integrating it into standard X-ray fitting package to enable self-consistent…
A Potential Second Shutoff from AT2018fyk: An updated Orbital Ephemeris of the Surviving Star under the Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event Paradigm
Dheeraj Pasham, Eric Coughlin, Muryel Guolo +4
The tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2018dyk/ASASSN-18UL showed a rapid dimming event 500 days after discovery, followed by a re-brightening roughly 700 days later. It has been hypot…
Discovery of An Apparent Red, High-Velocity Type Ia Supernova at z = 2.9 with JWST
J. D. R. Pierel, M. Engesser, D. A. Coulter +27
We present the JWST discovery of SN 2023adsy, a transient object located in a host galaxy JADES-GS with a host spectroscopic redshift of . Th…
Quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions and tidal disruption events prefer similar host galaxies
T. Wevers, K. D. French, A. I. Zabludoff +10
In the past five years, six quasi-periodic X-ray eruption (QPE) sources have been discovered in the nuclei of nearby galaxies. Their origin remains an open question. We present MUS…
Discovery of a Relativistic Stripped Envelope Type Ic-BL Supernova at z = 2.83 with JWST
M. R. Siebert, C. Decoursey, D. A. Coulter +26
We present JWST NIRCam and NIRSpec observations of a Type Ic supernova (SN Ic) and its host galaxy (JADES-GS+53.13533-27.81457) at . This SN (named SN 2023adta) was ident…
Sub-relativistic Outflow and Hours-Timescale Large-amplitude X-ray Dips during Super-Eddington Accretion onto a Low-mass Massive Black Hole in the Tidal Disruption Event AT2022lri
Yuhan Yao, Muryel Guolo, Francesco Tombesi +32
We present the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2022lri, hosted in a nearby ( Mpc) quiescent galaxy with a low-mass massive black hole ($10^4\,M_\odot < M_{\rm BH} < 10…
A Case for a Binary Black Hole System Revealed via Quasi-Periodic Outflows
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi, Petra Sukova +33
Binaries containing a compact object orbiting a supermassive black hole are thought to be precursors of gravitational wave events, but their identification has been extremely chall…
Lense-Thirring Precession after a Supermassive Black Hole Disrupts a Star
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Michal Zajacek, C. J. Nixon +8
An accretion disk formed around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) after it disrupts a star is expected to be initially misaligned with respect to the black hole's equatorial plane.…
Episodic X-ray Outflows from the Tidal Disruption Event ASASSN-14li
Yukta Ajay, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Thomas Wevers +4
ASASSN-14li is a low-redshift () tidal disruption event (TDE) that has been studied extensively across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and has provided one of the m…
Exploring Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V: First Year Results
Grisha Zeltyn, Benny Trakhtenbrot, Michael Eracleous +32
"Changing-look" active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) challenge our basic ideas about the physics of accretion flows and circumnuclear gas around supermassive black holes. Using first-y…
