The growth and evolution of super massive black holes
S. Murray, R. Gilli, P. Tozzi +19
We discuss the central role played by X-ray studies to reconstruct the past history of formation and evolution of supermassive Black Holes (BHs), and the role they played in shapin…
Probing Quiescent Massive Black Holes: Insights from Tidal Disruption Events
Suvi Gezari, Linda Strubbe, Joshua S. Bloom +10
Tidal disruption events provide a unique probe of quiescent black holes in the nuclei of distant galaxies. The next generation of synoptic surveys will yield a large sample of flar…
The Dynamic X-ray Sky of the Local Universe
Alicia M. Soderberg, Jonathan E. Grindlay, Joshua S. Bloom +35
Over the next decade, we can expect time domain astronomy to flourish at optical and radio wavelengths. In parallel with these efforts, a dedicated transient "machine" operating at…
Probing Shock Breakout with Serendipitous GALEX Detections of Two SNLS Type II-P Supernovae
Suvi Gezari, Luc Dessart, Stephane Basa +13
We report the serendipitous detection by GALEX of fast (<1 day) rising (>1 mag) UV emission from two Type II plateau (II-P) supernovae (SNe) at z=0.185 and 0.324 discovered by the…
SN 1994W: An Interacting Supernova or Two Interacting Shells?
Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier, Suvi Gezari +2
We present a multi-epoch quantitative spectroscopic analysis of the Type IIn SN 1994W, an event interpreted by Chugai et al. as stemming from the interaction between the ejecta of…
UV/Optical Detections of Candidate Tidal Disruption Events by GALEX and CFHTLS
S. Gezari, S. Basa, D. C. Martin +11
We present two luminous UV/optical flares from the nuclei of apparently inactive early-type galaxies at z=0.37 and 0.33 that have the radiative properties of a flare from the tidal…
