The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…
A 62-minute orbital period black widow binary in a wide hierarchical triple
Kevin B. Burdge, Thomas R. Marsh, Jim Fuller +30
Over a dozen millisecond pulsars are ablating low-mass companions in close binary systems. In the original "black widow", the 8-hour orbital period eclipsing pulsar PSR J1959+2048…
The NICER "Reverberation Machine": A Systematic Study of Time Lags in Black Hole X-Ray Binaries
Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, Matteo Lucchini +12
We perform the first systematic search of all NICER archival observations of black hole (and candidate) low-mass X-ray binaries for signatures of reverberation. Reverberation lags…
Ejection-accretion connection in NLS1 AGN 1H 1934-063
Yerong Xu, Ciro Pinto, Erin Kara +7
Accretion and ejection of matter in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are tightly connected phenomena and represent fundamental mechanisms regulating the growth of the central supermass…
Ionised Emission and Absorption in a Large Sample of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
P. Kosec, C. Pinto, C. S. Reynolds +6
Most Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are thought to be powered by super-Eddington accretion onto stellar-mass compact objects. Accretors in this extreme regime are naturally exp…
Probing the circumnuclear environment of NGC1275 with High-Resolution X-ray spectroscopy
Christopher S. Reynolds, Robyn N. Smith, Andrew C. Fabian +6
NGC1275 is the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) in the Perseus cluster and hosts the active galactic nucleus (AGN) that is heating the central 100\,kpc of the intracluster medium (IC…
