A 14-year-old Mystery: The Peculiar Case of the Engine-driven SN 2012ap
Itai Sfaradi, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +29
We present late-time ( d) optical (Keck), X-ray (Chandra and NuSTAR), and radio (VLA, ALMA, and the uGMRT) observations of the Type Ic-BL SN 2012ap. Previous studies of…
Conditions for Changing-Look AGNs from Accretion Disk-Induced Tidal Disruption Events
Yihan Wang, Matthew J. Graham, K. E. Saavik Ford +3
The phenomenon of changing-look (CL) behavior in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is characterized by dramatic changes in luminosity and/or emission line profiles over relatively short…
Tidal Disruption Events from three-body scatterings and eccentricity pumping in the disks of Active Galactic Nuclei
Chaitanya Prasad, Yihan Wang, Rosalba Perna +2
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) are routinely observed in quiescent galaxies, as stars from the nuclear star cluster are scattered into the loss cone of the central supermassive bla…
Changing-Look AGN Behaviour Induced by Disk-Captured Tidal Disruption Events
Yihan Wang, Douglas N. C. Lin, Bing Zhang +1
Recent observations of changing-look active galactic nuclei (AGN) hint at a frequency of accretion activity not fully explained by tidal disruption events (TDEs) stemming from rela…
Anisotropic Energy Injection from Magnetar Central Engines in Short GRBs
Yihan Wang, Bing Zhang, Zhaohuan Zhu
A long-lived magnetar, potentially originating from a binary neutron star system, has been proposed to explain the extended emission observed in certain short-duration gamma-ray bu…
