Low-hard to high-soft spectral state transitions in the faintest early-X-ray-detected optical tidal disruption event TDE 2025aarm
Pietro Baldini, Arne Rau, Andrea Merloni +11
We report the X-ray and optical spectroscopic properties of TDE 2025aarm, the second closest tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered to date. The proximity of this source, combined…

Revisiting the unification of tidal disruption events with polarimetry
H. C. I. Wichern, G. Leloudas, M. Pursiainen +10
Tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes produce multi-wavelength emission, of which the optical emission is of ambiguous origin. A unification scenario of tidal disr…

Efficient Bayesian analysis of kilonovae and gamma ray burst afterglows with fiesta
Hauke Koehn, Thibeau Wouters, Peter T. H. Pang +4
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows and kilonovae (KNe) are electromagnetic transients that can accompany binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. Therefore, studying their emission process…
