An XMM-Newton Study of the Mixed-Morphology Supernova Remnant G346.6-0.2

Katie Auchettl, C-Y. Ng, B. T. T. Wong +2

We present an X-ray imaging and spectroscopic study of the molecular cloud interacting mixed-morphology (MM) supernova remnant (SNR) G346.6-0.2 using XMM-Newton. The X-ray spectrum…

A dependence of the tidal disruption event rate on global stellar surface mass density and stellar velocity dispersion

Or Graur, K. Decker French, H. Jabran Zahid +4

The rate of tidal disruption events (TDEs), , is predicted to depend on stellar conditions near the super-massive black hole (SMBH), which are on difficult-to-measure…

Black hole masses of tidal disruption event host galaxies

Thomas Wevers, Sjoert van Velzen, Peter G. Jonker +5

The mass of the central black hole in a galaxy that hosted a tidal disruption event (TDE) is an important parameter in understanding its energetics and dynamics. We present the fir…

Comparing Neutron Star Kicks to Supernova Remnant Asymmetries

Tyler Holland-Ashford, Laura A. Lopez, Katie Auchettl +2

Supernova explosions are inherently asymmetric and can accelerate new-born neutron stars (NSs) to hundreds of km/s. Two prevailing theories to explain NS kicks are ejecta asymmetri…

The Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Evolution of the Low-Luminosity Tidal Disruption Event iPTF16fnl

J. S. Brown, C. S. Kochanek, T. W. -S. Holoien +14

We present the ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopic evolution of a tidal disruption event (TDE) for the first time. After the discovery of the nearby TDE iPTF16fnl, we obtained a series…

Comparison of the X-ray emission from Tidal Disruption Events with those of Active Galactic Nuclei

Katie Auchettl, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, James Guillochon

One of the main challenges of current tidal disruption events (TDEs) studies is that emission arising from AGN activity may potentially mimic the expected X-ray emission of a TDE.…
