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 First Two Years of FLEET: an Active Search for Superluminous Supernovae

Sebastian Gomez, Edo Berger, Peter K. Blanchard +5

In November 2019 we began operating FLEET (Finding Luminous and Exotic Extragalactic Transients), a machine learning algorithm designed to photometrically identify Type I superlumi…

Identifying Tidal Disruption Events with an Expansion of the FLEET Machine Learning Algorithm

Sebastian Gomez, V. Ashley Villar, Edo Berger +5

We present an expansion of FLEET, a machine learning algorithm optimized to select transients that are most likely to be tidal disruption events (TDEs). FLEET is based on a random…

AT 2020wey and the class of faint and fast Tidal Disruption Events

Panos Charalampopoulos, Miika Pursiainen, Giorgos Leloudas +5

We present an analysis of the optical and UV properties of AT 2020wey, a faint and fast tidal disruption event (TDE) at 124.3 Mpc. The light curve of the object peaked at an absolu…
