Broadband X-ray observations of the periodic optical source ZTF J185139.81+171430.3 and its identification as a massive intermediate polar
Ren Deng, Kaya Mori, Eric Miao +5
We present X-ray observations of the periodic optical source ZTF J185139.81+171430.3 (hereafter ZTF J1851) by the XMM, NICER and NuSTAR telescopes. The source was initially specula…

A Luminous Red Optical Flare and Hard X-ray Emission in the Tidal Disruption Event AT2024kmq
Anna Y. Q. Ho, Yuhan Yao, Tatsuya Matsumoto +30
We present the optical discovery and multiwavelength follow-up observations of AT2024kmq, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) associated with a supermassive ($M_{\rm BH}\sim 10^{…
