EMRIs in Kerr Spacetime: The Role of Inclination Diffusion
Yael Alush, Nicholas C. Stone, Scott A. Hughes
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are expected to be a major source of gravitational waves (GWs) for the future {\it Laser Interferometer Space Antenna} ({\it LISA}). An EMRI oc…
The Delay Time Distribution of Tidal Disruption Events
Margaret Shepherd, K. Decker French, Nicholas C. Stone +6
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) can be observed when stars get too close to supermassive black holes and are torn apart and accreted. The delay time distribution of TDEs, or rate of…
Resolving the Nuclear Environments of Tidal Disruption Event Host Galaxies within 45 pc
Megan Newsome, Iair Arcavi, K. Decker French +5
Using HST/STIS observations, we present the highest-spatial-resolution spectroscopic study to date of four tidal disruption event (TDE) host galaxies, with the best observed being…
How Flat is a Plateau? Evolution of Late-Time TDE Disks
Yael Alush, Nicholas C. Stone, Sjoert van Velzen
Late-time light curve plateaus in tidal disruption events (TDEs) are often approximated as flat and time-independent. This simplification is motivated by theoretical modeling of sp…
The supermassive black hole coincident with the luminous transient ASASSN-15lh
T. Krühler, M. Fraser, G. Leloudas +11
The progenitors of astronomical transients are linked to a specific stellar population and galactic environment, and observing their host galaxies hence constrains the physical nat…
