The fast transient sky with Gaia
Thomas Wevers, Peter G. Jonker, Simon T. Hodgkin +8
The ESA Gaia satellite scans the whole sky with a temporal sampling ranging from seconds and hours to months. Each time a source passes within the Gaia field of view, it moves over…
Short timescale variables in the Gaia era: detection and characterization by structure function analysis
Maroussia Roelens, Laurent Eyer, Nami Mowlavi +7
We investigate the capabilities of the ESA Gaia mission for detecting and character- izing short timescale variability, from tens of seconds to a dozen hours. We assess the efficie…
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…
Spectroscopic classification of X-ray sources in the Galactic Bulge Survey
T. Wevers, M. A. P. Torres, P. G. Jonker +14
We present the classification of 26 optical counterparts to X-ray sources discovered in the Galactic Bulge Survey. We use (time-resolved) photometric and spectroscopic observations…
