Gravitational Wave Signatures of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions: LISA Detection Prospects for RX J1301.9+2747
Leif Lui, Alejandro Torres-Orjuela, Rudrani Kar Chowdhury +1
Quasiperiodic eruptions (QPEs) are intense, recurring outbursts of X-ray radiation originating from the nuclei of distant galaxies. One of the promising models of QPE explains thes…
Merger Driven or Internal Evolution? A New Morphological Study of Tidal Disruption Event Host Galaxies
Janet N. Y. Chang, Connor Bottrell, Lixin Dai +7
The host galaxies of tidal disruption events (TDEs) show enhanced central stellar concentration and are preferentially found in poststarburst and green valley populations. This con…
A Unified Ionization Framework for the Spectroscopic Diversity of Tidal Disruption Events
Lars L. Thomsen, Lixin Dai, Daniel Kasen +4
Optical tidal disruption events (TDEs) exhibit extremely broad emission lines (-) and are observationally classified into four spectroscopic typ…
TDEs on FIRE: Illuminating the Cosmic Evolution of Tidal Disruption Rates
Rudrani Kar Chowdhury, Lixin Dai, Janet N. Y. Chang +1
Tidal disruption events have been extensively studied in the local universe, but their prevalence at high redshifts remains largely unexplored. Using the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-i…
