A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…
A Sun-like star orbiting a black hole
Kareem El-Badry, Hans-Walter Rix, Eliot Quataert +18
We report discovery of a bright, nearby () Sun-like star orbiting a dark object. We identified the system as a black hole candidate via its astrometri…
Magnetic braking saturates: evidence from the orbital period distribution of low-mass detached eclipsing binaries from ZTF
Kareem El-Badry, Charlie Conroy, Jim Fuller +4
We constrain the orbital period () distribution of low-mass detached main-sequence eclipsing binaries (EBs) with light curves from the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF),…
Discovery of Two Polars from a Crossmatch of ZTF and the SRG/eFEDS X-ray Catalog
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Thomas A. Prince +14
Magnetic CVs are luminous Galactic X-ray sources but have been difficult to find in purely optical surveys due to their lack of outburst behavior. The eROSITA telescope aboard the…
The Search for a Counterpart to NuSTAR J053449+2126.0
Antonio C. Rodriguez, Yuhan Yao, Kishalay De +1
Tumer et al. 2022, ATel #15171, have recently reported the discovery of an X-ray source, NuSTAR J053449+2126.0, during a calibration observation which took place on 25 April 2020.…
Expected FU Ori Outburst Amplitudes from the Optical to the Mid-Infrared
Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Antonio C. Rodriguez
Disks around young stellar objects (YSOs) consist of material that thermally emits the energy provided by a combination of passive heating from the central star, and active, viscou…
