The mass distribution of clumpy accretion onto the nearby young star TW Hya
Tao Ji, Javier Serna, Gregory J. Herczeg +12
The proliferation of high time-resolution and decades-long monitoring of classical T Tauri stars provides a vast opportunity to test the variability of the star-disk connections. H…
A multi-dimensional view of a unified model for TDEs
Edward J. Parkinson, Christian Knigge, Lixin Dai +3
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) can generate non-spherical, relativistic and optically thick outflows. Simulations show that the radiation we observe is reprocessed by these outflow…
Rates of Stellar Tidal Disruption Events around Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
Janet N. Y. Chang, Lixin Dai, Hugo Pfister +2
Rates of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been extensively calculated using the loss cone theory, while theoretical work on TDE r…
QPEs as Lense-Thirring precession of super-Eddington flows
M. Middleton, A. Gurpide, T. M. Kwan +9
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a recently identified class of X-ray transient associated with tidal disruption events by supermassive black holes, and for which there are mult…
Modeling Multiple X-Ray Reflection in Super-Eddington Winds
Zijian Zhang, Lars Lund Thomsen, Lixin Dai +7
It has been recently discovered that a few super-Eddington sources undergoing black hole super-Eddington accretion exhibit X-ray reflection signatures. In such new systems, one exp…
