Ultra-deep cover: an exotic and jetted tidal disruption event candidate disguised as a gamma-ray burst

R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris, C. J. Nixon, E. R. Coughlin +1

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are traditionally classified as either short GRBs with durations s that are powered by compact object mergers, or long GRBs with durations $\gt…

Alive but Barely Kicking: News from 3+ years of Swift and XMM-Newton X-ray Monitoring of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions from eRO-QPE1

Dheeraj R. Pasham, Eric R. Coughlin, Michal Zajacek +11

Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel class of extragalactic X-ray transients that are known to repeat at roughly regular intervals of a few hours to days. Their underl…

Mergers of black hole binaries driven by misaligned circumbinary discs

Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen Lepp, Bing Zhang +2

With hydrodynamical simulations we examine the evolution of a highly misaligned circumbinary disc around a black hole binary including the effects of general relativity. We show th…

Tilted circumbinary planetary systems as efficient progenitors of free-floating planets

Cheng Chen, Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow +1

The dominant mechanism for generating free-floating planets has so far remained elusive. One suggested mechanism is that planets are ejected from planetary systems due to planet-pl…

The Peak of the Fallback Rate from Tidal Disruption Events: Dependence on Stellar Type

Ananya Bandopadhyay, Julia Fancher, Aluel Athian +7

A star completely destroyed in a tidal disruption event (TDE) ignites a luminous flare that is powered by the fallback of tidally stripped debris to a supermassive black hole (SMBH…

A trio of month long flares in the nova-like variable V704 And

Gabriella Zsidi, C. J. Nixon, T. Naylor +2

We present the discovery of an unusual set of flares in the nova-like variable V704 And. Using data from AAVSO, ASAS-SN, and ZTF, of the nova-like variable V704 And, we have discov…
