The UV/optical peak and X-ray brightening in TDE candidate AT2019azh: A case of stream-stream collision and delayed accretion
Xiao-Long Liu, Li-Ming Dou, Jin-Hong Chen +1
We present and analyze the optical/UV and X-ray observations of a nearby tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate AT2019azh, spanning from 30 d before to 400 d after it…
Constraints on the binary black hole hypothesis for system LB-1
R. -F. Shen, C. D. Matzner, A. W. Howard +1
At about 70 solar masses, the recently-discovered dark object orbited by a B-type star in the system LB-1 is difficult to understand as the end point of standard stellar evolution,…
A wide star-black-hole binary system from radial-velocity measurements
Jifeng Liu, Haotong Zhang, Andrew W. Howard +52
All stellar mass black holes have hitherto been identified by X-rays emitted by gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. These systems are all binaries with…
CDF-S XT1 and XT2: White Dwarf Tidal Disruption Events by Intermediate-Mass Black Holes?
Zong-Kai Peng, Yi-Si Yang, Rong-Feng Shen +3
Recently two fast X-ray transients (XT1 and XT2) have been reported from the search in the Chandra Deep Field (CDF) data. Each transient shows an initial plateau lasting around hun…
GRID: a Student Project to Monitor the Transient Gamma-Ray Sky in the Multi-Messenger Astronomy Era
Jiaxing Wen, Xiangyun Long, Xutao Zheng +139
The Gamma-Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID) is a space mission concept dedicated to monitoring the transient gamma-ray sky in the energy range from 10 keV to 2 MeV using scintillatio…
Polarization of kilonova emission from a black hole-neutron star merger
Yan Li, Rong-Feng Shen
A multi-messenger, black hole (BH) - neutron star (NS) merger event still remains to be detected. The tidal (dynamical) ejecta from such an event, thought to produce a kinonova, is…
