Science with the Ultraviolet Explorer (UVEX)
S. R. Kulkarni, Fiona A. Harrison, Brian W. Grefenstette +53
UVEX is a proposed medium class Explorer mission designed to provide crucial missing capabilities that will address objectives central to a broad range of modern astrophysics. The…
Establishing accretion flares from massive black holes as a source of high-energy neutrinos
Sjoert van Velzen, Robert Stein, Marat Gilfanov +26
The origin of cosmic high-energy neutrinos remains largely unexplained. For high-energy neutrino alerts from IceCube, a coincidence with time-variable emission has been seen for th…
Candidate Tidal Disruption Event AT2019fdr Coincident with a High-Energy Neutrino
Simeon Reusch, Robert Stein, Marek Kowalski +46
The origins of the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux remain largely unknown. Recently, one high-energy neutrino was associated with a tidal disruption event (TDE). Here we present A…
Variability-selected intermediate mass black hole candidates in dwarf galaxies from ZTF and WISE
Charlotte Ward, Suvi Gezari, Peter Nugent +9
While it is difficult to observe the first black hole seeds in the early Universe, we can study intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) in local dwarf galaxies for clues about their…
Tidal Disruption Events
Suvi Gezari
The concept of stars being tidally ripped apart and consumed by a massive black hole (MBH) lurking in the center of a galaxy first captivated theorists in the late 1970's. The obse…
Great Observatories: The Past and Future of Panchromatic Astrophysics
L. Armus, S. T. Megeath, L. Corrales +30
NASA's Great Observatories have opened up the electromagnetic spectrum from space, providing sustained access to wavelengths not accessible from the ground. Together, Hubble, Compt…
