Abnormal Nitrogen Abundance in the X-ray Spectrum of Quasi-periodically Erupting Source AT2019wzc
Tao Wu, Xinwen Shu, Luming Sun +3
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are rapid, recurring soft X-ray bursts, whose nature is still in dispute. A compelling case of QPEs has emerged in the slowly evolving optical trans…
Exploring Tidal Disruption Events with SKA and VLBI: Unveiling the Mystery of Black Hole Feeding and Outflows
Xinwen Shu, Guobin Mou, Tao An +8
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) probe the birth and evolution of black hole accretion flows and jets on human timescales. Radio emission traces shocks and outflows from thermal TDEs…
An Obscured Tidal Disruption Event Uncovered by Its Mid- and Near-Infrared Dust Echo in a Star-Forming Galaxy
Hui Liu, Luming Sun, Ning Jiang +8
We present a comprehensive study of an infrared (IR) flare in the star-forming galaxy SDSS J010320.39+140152.5, which is selected from the sample of mid-IR (MIR) outbursts in nearb…
Outflow-cloud interaction as the possible origin of the peculiar radio emission in the tidal disruption event AT2018cqh
Lei Yang, Xinwen Shu, Guobin Mou +9
AT2018cqh is a unique optical tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered in a dwarf galaxy exhibiting delayed X-ray and radio flares. We present the results from high-resolution VLBA…
EP241021a: a months-duration X-ray transient with luminous optical and radio emission
Shu Xinwen, Yang Lei, Yang Haonan +82
We present the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP241021a, by the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, and the results from multiwavelength follow-up observations. The transient wa…
An 85-s X-ray quasi-periodicity after a stellar tidal disruption by a candidate intermediate-mass black hole
Wenjie Zhang, Xinwen Shu, Luming Sun +4
It is still in dispute the existence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with a mass of ~10^3-10^5 solar masses (Msun), which are the missing link between stellar-mass black h…
