Can GRB 250702B be explained as the tidal disruption of a white dwarf by an intermediate mass black hole? Yes

Rob AJ Eyles-Ferris, Andrew King, Rhaana LC Starling +11

GRB 250702B is a unique astrophysical transient characterised by its nature as a repeating gamma-ray trigger. Its properties include possible periodicity in its gamma-ray light cur…

The Two Dimensional Projected Spatial Distribution of Globular Clusters: Method and Application to NGC4261

R. D'Abrusco, G. Fabbiano, J. Strader +7

We present a new method for the determination of the two-dimensional (2D) projected spatial distribution of globular clusters (GCs) in external galaxies. This method is based on th…

The Milky Way's Fermi Bubbles: Echoes of the Last Quasar Outburst?

K. Zubovas, A. R. King, S. Nayakshin

{\it Fermi}-LAT has recently detected two gamma ray bubbles disposed symmetrically with respect to the Galactic plane. The bubbles have been suggested to be in a quasi-steady state…

Large--Scale Outflows in Galaxies

A. R. King, K. Zubovas, C. Power

We discuss massive outflows in galaxy bulges, particularly ones driven by accretion episodes where the central supermassive black hole reaches the Eddington limit. We show that the…

Self-Regulated Star Formation and the Black Hole-Galaxy Bulge Relation

C. Power, K. Zubovas, S. Nayakshin +1

We show that star formation in galaxy bulges is self-regulating through momentum feedback, limiting the stellar bulge mass to M_b ~ sigma^4. Together with a black hole mass M_BH ~…

Field and Globular Cluster LMXBs in NGC 4278

G. Fabbiano, N. J. Brassington, L. Lentati +12

We report a detailed spectral analysis of the population of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) detected in the elliptical galaxy NGC~4278 with Chandra. Seven luminous sources were stu…
