Constraints on the Intranight Optical Variability of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Candidates

Wenwen Zuo, Hengxiao Guo, Wanling Liu +12

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) provide a unique regime for studying accretion variability at the low-mass end of the black hole population, yet their intranight optical vari…

Early Near-Infrared Excess and Rapid Disk-Corona Evolution in the Tidal Disruption Event 2024aepd

Yongxin Wu, Yanan Wang, Thomas M. Reynolds +38

We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) 2024aepd, spanning primarily the first 300 days after discovery. A prominent near-infrared (NIR)…

Evidence for a Delayed UV Counterpart to X-ray Quasi-periodic Eruptions in Ansky

Hengxiao Guo, Zhen Yan, Ya-Ping Li +15

X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel population of extreme, repeating nuclear transients whose physical origins remain debated. A defining characteristic of QPEs…

Tidal disruption events in active galactic nuclei: on orbital inclination and Schwarzschild apsidal precession

Minghao Zhang, Wenda Zhang, Hongping Deng +2

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) mark a regime where traditional vacuum models fail to capture the full dynamics, especially due to interaction betwe…

AT2021aeuk: A Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event Candidate in a Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy

Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Minfeng Gu +13

A black hole (BH) can tear apart a star that ventures within its tidal radius, producing a luminous flare as the stellar debris falls back, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE).…

Optical Continuum Reverberation Mapping of a Candidate IMBH in a Nearby Seyfert 1 Galaxy

Wenwen Zuo, Hengxiao Guo, Jingbo Sun +25

To investigate the short-term variability and determine the size of the optical continuum emitting region of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), we carried out high-cadence, mul…

Reverberation evidence for Stream Collision and Delayed Disk Formation in Tidal Disruption Events

Hengxiao Guo, Jingbo Sun, Shuang-Liang Li +9

When a star passes through the tidal disruption radius of a massive black hole (BH), it can be torn apart by the tidal force of the BH, known as the Tidal Disruption Event (TDE). S…
