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…

The last three years: multiband gravitational-wave observations of stellar-mass binary black holes

Antoine Klein, Geraint Pratten, Riccardo Buscicchio +10

Understanding the formation and evolution of the stellar-mass binary black holes discovered by LIGO and Virgo is a challenge that spans many areas of astrophysics, from stellar evo…

Limits on the hard X-ray emission from the periodic fast radio burst FRB 180916.J0158+65

Sibasish Laha, Zorawar Wadiasingh, Tyler Parsotan +11

FRB 180916.J0158+65 is one of the nearest, periodically repeating, and actively bursting fast radio burst (FRB) which has been localized to the outskirts of a spiral galaxy. In thi…

A radio, optical, UV and X-ray view of the enigmatic changing look Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES~1927+654 from its pre- to post-flare states

Sibasish Laha, Eileen Meyer, Agniva Roychowdhury +17

The nearby type-II AGN 1ES1927+654 went through a violent changing-look (CL) event beginning December 2017 during which the optical and UV fluxes increased by four magnitudes over…

Transitional events in the spectrophotometric regime between stripped envelope and superluminous supernovae

S. J. Prentice, C. Inserra, S. Schulze +24

The division between stripped-envelope supernovae (SE-SNe) and superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) is not well defined in either photometric or spectroscopic space. While a sharp lumi…
