Tidal disruption events and quasi periodic eruptions
Natalie A. Webb, Didier Barret, Olivier Godet +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star passes close to a massive black hole, so that the tidal forces of the black hole exceed the binding energy of a star and cause it t…
An Ultraluminous Supersoft Source in a Dwarf Galaxy of Abell 85: An Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Candidate
Marko Mićić, Jimmy A. Irwin, Dacheng Lin
We study a large sample of dwarf galaxies using archival Chandra X-ray observations, with the aim of detecting accreting intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). IMBHs are expected t…
Discovery of Three Candidate Magnetar-powered Fast X-ray Transients from Chandra Archival Data
Dacheng Lin, Jimmy A. Irwin, Edo Berger +1
It was proposed that a remnant stable magnetar could be formed in a binary neutron-star merger, leading to a fast X-ray transient (FXT) that can last for thousands of seconds. Rece…
Follow-up Observations of the Prolonged, super-Eddington, Tidal Disruption Event Candidate 3XMM~J150052.0+015452: the Slow Decline Continues
Dacheng Lin, Olivier Godet, Natalie A. Webb +7
The X-ray source 3XMM~J150052.0+015452 was discovered as a spectacular tidal disruption event candidate during a prolonged ( yrs) outburst (Lin et al. 2017). It exhibited uniq…
The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey IX. The fourth XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue
N. A. Webb, M. Coriat, I. Traulsen +28
Sky surveys produce enormous quantities of data on extensive regions of the sky. The easiest way to access this information is through catalogues of standardised data products. {\e…
Multiwavelength Follow-up of the Hyperluminous Intermediate-mass Black Hole Candidate 3XMM J215022.4-055108
Dacheng Lin, Jay Strader, Aaron J. Romanowsky +6
We recently discovered the X-ray/optical outbursting source 3XMM J215022.4-055108. It was best explained as the tidal disruption of a star by an intermediate-mass black hole of mas…
