An unexpected population of quenched galaxies harbouring under-massive SMBHs revealed by tidal disruption events
Paige Ramsden, Sean L. McGee, Matt Nicholl
Restricted by event horizon suppression, tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide a unique window into otherwise hidden supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the lower end of the mass…
Tidal Disruption Events
Brenna Mockler, Erica Hammerstein, Eric R. Coughlin +1
Stars that orbit too close to a black hole can be ripped apart by strong tides, producing a type of luminous transient event called a ``tidal disruption event" (TDE). Tidal disrupt…
A luminous and hot infrared through X-ray transient at a 5 kpc offset from a dwarf galaxy
Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Raffaella Margutti +20
We are searching for hot, constant-color, offset optical flares in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) data stream that are from any galaxy in public imaging data from th…
A Massive Black Hole 0.8 kpc from the Host Nucleus Revealed by the Offset Tidal Disruption Event AT2024tvd
Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Charlotte Ward +31
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) that are spatially offset from the nuclei of their host galaxies offer a new probe of massive black hole (MBH) wanderers, binaries, triples, and reco…
