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…
Radio and X-ray flux rebrightening six years after outburst in a partially-obscured extreme changing-look AGN
Tianyao Zhou, Xinwen Shu, Lei Yang +14
The paper reports multi‑year observations of the partially obscured AGN SDSS J1548+2208, revealing sustained high mid‑infrared and hard X‑ray fluxes and a late‑time radio rebrighte…
Discovery of a soft X-ray lag in the tidal disruption event AT2021ehb
Wenjie Zhang
In this Letter, we report the detection of soft X-ray time lags-i.e. variability in the softer photons lagging behind that in the harder photons-in seven XMM-Newton observations of…
A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
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…
Discovery of a years-delayed radio flare from an unusually slow-evolved tidal disruption event
Zhumao Zhang, Xinwen Shu, Lei Yang +19
SDSS J1115+0544 is a unique low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) galaxy with energetic ultraviolet (UV), optical and mid-infrared outbursts occurring in its nucleus.…
