RBS 1032: A Tidal Disruption Event in Another Dwarf Galaxy?

W. Peter Maksym, Dacheng Lin, Jimmy Irwin

RBS 1032 is a supersoft ( $Γ \sim 5$ ), luminous ( $\sim 1 0^{43}$ erg/s) ROSAT PSPC source which has been associated with an inactive dwarf galaxy at $z = 0.026$ , SDSS J114726.69+494257.8.…

HST Imaging of Fading AGN Candidates I: Host-Galaxy Properties and Origin of the Extended Gas

William C. Keel, W. Peter Maksym, Vardha N. Bennert +11

We present narrow- and medium-band HST imaging, with additional supporting ground-based data, for 8 galaxies identified as hosting fading AGN. These have AGN-ionized gas projected…

Deep Spectroscopy of the $M_{V} \sim - 14.8$ Host Galaxy of a Tidal Disruption Flare in A1795

W. Peter Maksym, Melville Ulmer, Kathy Roth +5

A likely tidal disruption of a star by the intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) of a dwarf galaxy was recently identified in association with Abell 1795. Without deep spectroscopy f…
