Observations of Repeating Tidal Disruption Events

Iair Arcavi, Thomas Wevers

The disruption of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) as tidal disruption events (TDEs) can produce transient flares across the electromagnetic spectrum. Such flares can be u…

Aarmed with Data: Bumps, Outflows, and Disk-like Emission in TDE 2025aarm

Aysha Aamer, Kate D. Alexander, Charlotte R. Angus +43

The origin of the optical emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains one of the major outstanding questions in the field, in part due to the limited number of nearby events…

AT 2022csn: A Photometrically Peculiar Optical/UV Tidal Disruption Event in a Type II AGN

Yael Dgany, Iair Arcavi, Grisha Zeltyn +18

The emission mechanism and host galaxy preference of optical/UV tidal disruption events (TDEs) are still not entirely understood. We present observations of the TDE AT 2022csn, whi…

Early Near-Infrared Excess and Rapid Disk-Corona Evolution in the Tidal Disruption Event 2024aepd

Yongxin Wu, Yanan Wang, Thomas M. Reynolds +38

We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) 2024aepd, spanning primarily the first 300 days after discovery. A prominent near-infrared (NIR)…

Superlinear Type II Superluminous Supernovae 2017fck and 2019cmv: A Possible Origin from Interacting Thermonuclear Supernovae

Daichi Hiramatsu, Takashi J. Moriya, D. Andrew Howell +9

Additional power sources to traditional supernovae (SNe) are necessary to account for the extreme luminosities of superluminous SNe (SLSNe). A main power source for hydrogen-rich S…

SN 2020bij and a Possible Slow-Rise High-Velocity Subclass of Type IIP Supernovae

Sondos Mohsen-Tanev, Iair Arcavi, Shahar Bracha +17

Mapping how the explosion properties of Type II supernovae (SNe II) relate to the properties of their progenitors can provide strong constraints for understanding the final evoluti…
