Unlocking the QPE Mystery: Star-Disk Collisions in Realistic AGN Disks
Zhaohuan Zhu, Xiaoshan Huang, Yan-Fei Jiang +1
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are luminous, recurring soft X-ray outbursts observed in the nuclei of low-mass galaxies. They display two remarkable trends: outburst durations are…
Stellar mergers and chemical element mixing: implications for the metamorphic stellar evolution in AGN disks
Yanlong Shi, Xiaoshan Huang, Douglas N. C. Lin +1
Chemical mixing during stellar mergers can significantly influence the subsequent evolution of the merger remnant. We perform a suite of three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulation…
The Light Curve of Wind-Reprocessed Tidal Disruption Events
Brenna Mockler, David Khatami, Daniel Kasen +2
The source of the optical/UV emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains an enduring question in the field. Connecting the observed emission to the source is critical for bo…
Resolving Oblique Star-Disk Collisions in Quasi-Periodic Eruptions: Numerical Requirements and the Importance of Geometry
Shunquan Huang, Xiaoshan Huang, Zhaohuan Zhu +1
Star-disk collisions have been proposed as a promising mechanism for producing quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei. Because the stellar atmospheric scale height is o…
AT2024lhc and AT2024kmq in the landscape of featureless tidal disruption events
Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Andrew Mummery +39
We study AT2024kmq and AT2024lhc, two tidal disruption events (TDEs) with blue featureless spectra associated with high-mass black holes (). Both even…
