Slim disk modeling reveals an accreting intermediate-mass black hole in the luminous fast blue optical transient AT2018cow
Z. Cao, P. G. Jonker, S. Wen +1
The origin of the most luminous subclass of the fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs) is still unknown. We present an X-ray spectral analysis of AT2018cow-the LFBOT archetype-using…

Tidal disruption event AT2020ocn: early-time X-ray flares caused by a possible disc alignment process
Z. Cao, P. G. Jonker, D. R. Pasham +3
A tidal disruption event (TDE) may occur when a star is torn apart by the tidal force of a black hole (BH). Eventually, an accretion disc is thought to form out of stellar debris f…

AT2018fyk: Candidate Tidal Disruption Event by a (Super)massive Black Hole Binary
S. Wen, P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan +8
The tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2018fyk has unusual X-ray, UV, and optical light curves that decay over the first 600d, rebrighten, and decay again around 1200d. We explai…
