An Intermediate-mass Black Hole Lurking in A Galactic Halo Caught Alive during Outburst
C. -C. Jin, D. -Y. Li, N. Jiang +137
Stellar-mass and supermassive black holes abound in the Universe, whereas intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) of ~10^2-10^5 solar masses in between are largely missing observatio…
Measuring black hole masses from tidal disruption events and testing the relation
Z. Q. Zhou, F. K. Liu, S. Komossa +4
Liu and collaborators recently proposed an elliptical accretion disk model for tidal disruption events (TDEs). They showed that the accretion disks of optical/UV TDEs are large and…
A large accretion disk of extreme eccentricity in the TDE ASASSN-14li
R. Cao, F. K. Liu, Z. Q. Zhou +2
In the canonical model for tidal disruption events (TDEs), the stellar debris circularizes quickly to form an accretion disk of size about twice the orbital pericenter of the star.…
Disk origin of broad optical emission lines of the TDE candidate PTF09djl
F. K. Liu, Z. Q. Zhou, R. Cao +2
An otherwise dormant supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a galactic nucleus flares up when it tidally disrupts a star passing by. Most of the tidal disruption events (TDEs) and candi…
Growth of supermassive black holes, galaxy mergers and supermassive binary black holes
S. Komossa, J. G. Baker, F. K. Liu
The study of galaxy mergers and supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) is central to our understanding of the galaxy and black hole assembly and (co-)evolution at the epoch of st…
