The Multi-Wavelength Context of Delayed Radio Emission in TDEs: Evidence for Accretion-Driven Outflows
Kate D. Alexander, Raffaella Margutti, Sebastian Gomez +20
Recent observations presented in Cendes et al. (2024a) show that optically selected tidal disruption events (TDEs) commonly produce delayed radio emission that can peak years post-…
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…
Needle in a Poissonian haystack -- An X-ray astronomer's guide to QPE fishing
E. Quintin, N. Khan, N. A. Webb +4
After six years of studies following the discovery of GSN069, a link is starting to appear between the elusive Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) and other types of nuclear transients…
Rapid onset of a Comptonisation zone in the repeating tidal disruption event XMMSL2 J140446.9-251135
R. D. Saxton, T. Wevers, S. van Velzen +11
We report here on observations of a tidal disruption event, XMMSL2 J1404-2511, discovered in an XMM-Newton slew, in a quiescent galaxy at z=0.043. X-ray monitoring covered the epoc…
Dichotomy in Long-Lived Radio Emission from Tidal Disruption Events AT 2020zso and AT 2021sdu: Multi-Component Outflows vs. Host Contamination
Collin T. Christy, Kate D. Alexander, Tanmoy Laskar +16
We present a detailed radio study of the tidal disruption events (TDEs) AT 2020zso and AT 2021sdu. Both exhibit transient radio emission beginning shortly after optical discovery a…
SAS in ESA Datalabs: A New Platform for XMM-Newton Analysis
Esin G. Gulbahar, Camille M. Diez, Aitor Ibarra +6
XMM-Newton is a cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) for X-ray astronomy, providing high-quality X-ray data for astrophysical research since the start of the cent…
