Shock Breakouts from Tidal Disruption Events
Almog Yalinewich, James Guillochon, Re'em Sari +1
Tidal disruption events of stars by supermassive black holes have so far been discovered months to years after the fact. In this paper we explore the short, faint and hard burst of…
Serendipitous Discovery of a 14-year-old Supernova at 16 Mpc
James Guillochon, Jorge Stockler de Moraes, Matt Nicholl +5
In this Research Note we present a serendipitous discovery of the transient CGS2004A (AT2004iu) in an image collected by the Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey of the Scd: galaxy NGC 18…
Multi-Messenger Astrophysics: Harnessing the Data Revolution
Gabrielle Allen, Warren Anderson, Erik Blaufuss +27
The past year has witnessed discovery of the first identified counterparts to a gravitational wave transient (GW 170817A) and a very high-energy neutrino (IceCube-170922A). These s…
Constraining the Stellar Mass Function from the Deficiency of Tidal Disruption Flares in the Nuclei of Massive Galaxies
Daniel J. D'Orazio, Abraham Loeb, James Guillochon
The rate of tidal disruption flares (TDFs) per mass of the disrupting black hole encodes information on the present-day mass function (PDMF) of stars in the clusters surrounding su…
Systematic investigation of the fallback accretion powered model for hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae
Takashi J. Moriya, Matt Nicholl, James Guillochon
The energy liberated by fallback accretion has been suggested as a possible engine to power hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae. We systematically investigate this model using t…
Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Observations of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817
V. A. Villar, P. S. Cowperthwaite, E. Berger +12
We present Spitzer Space Telescope 3.6 and 4.5 micron observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 at 43, 74, and 264 days post-merger. Using the final observation as a…
