The Rapidly Spinning Intermediate-Mass Black Hole 3XMM J150052.0+015452
Z. Cao, P. G. Jonker, S. Wen +2
A star tidally disrupted by a black hole can form an accretion disc with a super-Eddington mass accretion rate; the X-ray emission produced by the inner disc provides constraints o…
The growth of intermediate mass black holes through tidal captures and tidal disruption events
Francesco Paolo Rizzuto, Thorsten Naab, Antti Rantala +5
We present simulations, including post-Newtonian dynamics, of dense clusters of low-mass stars harbouring central black holes (BHs) with initial masses of 50, 30…
Loss Cone Shielding
Odelia Teboul, Nicholas C. Stone, Jeremiah P. Ostriker
A star wandering close enough to a massive black hole (MBH) can be ripped apart by the tidal forces of the black hole. The advent of wide-field surveys at many wavelengths has quic…
Magnetically Dominated Disks in Tidal Disruption Events and Quasi-Periodic Eruptions
Karamveer Kaur, Nicholas C. Stone, Shmuel Gilbaum
The classical radiation pressure instability has been a persistent theoretical feature of thin, radiatively efficient accretion disks with accretion rates 1 to 100 per cent of the…
The scientific payload of the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT)
Sagi Ben-Ami, Yossi Shvartzvald, Eli Waxman +45
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is a space-borne near UV telescope with an unprecedented large field of view (200 sq. deg.). The mission, led by the Weizma…
Revisiting Stellar Orbits and the Sgr A Quadrupole Moment
Yael Alush, Nicholas Chamberlain Stone
The "no-hair" theorem can, in principle, be tested at the center of the Milky Way by measuring the spin and the quadrupole moment of Sgr A with the orbital precession of S-star…
