Tidal disruption event Calorimetry: Observational constraints on the physics of TDE optical flares
Andrew Mummery, Brian Metzger, Sjoert van Velzen +1
Tidal disruption events are routinely discovered as bright optical/UV flares, the properties of which are now well categorized on the population level. The underlying physical proc…
Using Infrared Dust Echoes to Identify Bright Quasi-periodic Eruption Sources
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Eric Coughlin, Sjoert van Velzen +1
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring soft X-ray outbursts from galactic nuclei and represent an intriguing new class of transients. Currently, 10 QPE sources are reported…
Counting the Unseen II: Tidal Disruption Event Rates in Nearby Galaxies with REPTiDE
Christian H. Hannah, Nicholas C. Stone, Anil C. Seth +1
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are a class of transients that occur when a star is destroyed by the tides of a massive black hole (MBH). Their rates encode valuable MBH demographic…
The optical, UV-plateau and X-ray tidal disruption event luminosity functions reproduced from first principles
Andrew Mummery, Sjoert van Velzen
We reproduce the luminosity functions of the early-time peak optical luminosity, the late-time UV plateau luminosity, and the peak X-ray luminosity of tidal disruption events, usin…
Disentangling transients and their host galaxies with Scarlet2: A framework to forward model multi-epoch imaging
Charlotte Ward, Peter Melchior, Matt L. Sampson +6
Many science cases for wide-field time-domain surveys rely on accurate identification and characterization of the galaxies hosting transient and variable objects. In the era of the…
From Data to Software to Science with the Rubin Observatory LSST
Katelyn Breivik, Andrew J. Connolly, K. E. Saavik Ford +97
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) dataset will dramatically alter our understanding of the Universe, from the origins of the Solar System to the…
