Electromagnetic Counterparts of Stellar-mass Binary Black Hole Mergers in AGN Accretion Disks: Theoretical Models and Observational Status
Lei He, Liang-Gui Zhu, Ken Chen +4
The discovery of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterparts marked the beginning of the era of multimessenger gravitational-wave astronomy. In con…
Exploring Hierarchical Merger Scenarios for GW241011 and GW241110
Lei He, Liang-Gui Zhu, Zheng-Yan Liu +4
GW241011 and GW241110 are asymmetric binary black hole mergers with rapidly spinning primaries, unequal component masses, and nonzero spin--orbit tilts, making them natural candida…
Star Formation Drives Production of Low Energy Cosmic Rays
Ningyu Tang, Jiahao Liu, Di Li +18
For over a century, the origin of low-energy cosmic rays (LECRs), the dominant heaters and ionizers of dense interstellar gas, remains elusive owing to solar modulation and uncerta…
Constraining the Fraction of LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA Binary Black Hole Merger Events Associated with Active Galactic Nucleus Flares
Liang-Gui Zhu, Lei He, Xian Chen +1
The formation channels of binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA (LVK) network remain uncertain. While BBH mergers occurring inside active galactic nucleu…
Searching for Electromagnetic Counterpart Candidates to GW231123
Lei He, Liang-Gui Zhu, Zheng-Yan Liu +14
The detection of GW231123, a gravitational-wave (GW) event with exceptionally massive and rapidly spinning black holes, suggests the possible formation within an active galactic nu…
A Systematic Search for Active Galactic Nucleus Flares in ZTF Data Release 23
Lei He, Zheng-Yan Liu, Rui Niu +13
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are known to exhibit stochastic variability across a wide range of timescales and wavelengths. AGN flares are extreme outbursts that deviate from this…
