Fading into darkness: A weak mass ejection and low-efficiency fallback accompanying black hole formation in M31-2014-DS1
Kishalay De, Morgan MacLeod, Jacob E. Jencson +10
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) can form from the near-complete collapse of massive stars, causing them to abruptly disappear. The star M31-2014-DS1 in the Andromeda galaxy was repo…
Revealing a main-sequence star that consumed a planet with JWST
Ryan M. Lau, Jacob E. Jencson, Colette Salyk +8
The subluminous red nova (SLRN) ZTF SLRN-2020 is the most compelling direct detection of a planet being consumed by its host star, a scenario known as a planetary engulfment event.…
Disappearance of a massive star in the Andromeda Galaxy due to formation of a black hole
Kishalay De, Morgan MacLeod, Jacob E. Jencson +11
When a massive star reaches the end of its lifetime, its core collapses and releases neutrinos that drive a shock into the outer layers (stellar envelope). A sufficiently strong sh…
Correlated mid-infrared and X-ray outbursts in black hole X-ray binaries: A new route to discovery in infrared surveys
Chris John, Kishalay De, Matteo Lucchini +5
The mid-infrared (MIR; m) bands offer a unique window into understanding accretion and its interplay with jet formation in Galactic black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRB…
WTP19aalnxx: Discovery of a bright mid-infrared transient in the emerging class of low luminosity supernovae revealed by delayed circumstellar interaction
Charlotte Myers, Kishalay De, Lin Yan +11
While core-collapse supernovae (SNe) often show early and consistent signs of circumstellar (CSM) interaction, some exhibit delayed signatures due to interaction with distant mater…
The Process of Stellar Tidal Disruption by Supermassive Black Holes. The first pericenter passage
Elena M. Rossi, Nicholas C. Stone, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are among the brightest transients in the optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray sky. These flares are set into motion when a star is torn apart by the tida…
