Compact Accretion Disks in the Aftermath of Tidal Disruption Events: Parameter Inference from Joint X-ray Spectra and UV/Optical Photometry Fitting
M. Guolo, A. Mummery, S. van Velzen +8
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of 14 tidal disruption events (TDEs)-including an off-nuclear event associated with an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy-selected for having availab…
Rapid onset of a Comptonisation zone in the repeating tidal disruption event XMMSL2 J140446.9-251135
R. D. Saxton, T. Wevers, S. van Velzen +11
We report here on observations of a tidal disruption event, XMMSL2 J1404-2511, discovered in an XMM-Newton slew, in a quiescent galaxy at z=0.043. X-ray monitoring covered the epoc…
JWST Discovery of a High-Redshift Tidal Disruption Event Candidate in COSMOS-Web
Mitchell Karmen, Suvi Gezari, Erini Lambrides +26
The rates and properties of tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide valuable insights into their host galaxy central stellar densities and the demographics of their central supermas…
The case of AT2022wtn: a Tidal Disruption Event in an interacting galaxy
F. Onori, M. Nicholl, P. Ramsden +35
We present the results from our multi-wavelength monitoring campaign of the transient AT2022wtn, discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility in the nucleus of SDSSJ232323.79+104107…
The properties of GSN 069 accretion disk from a joint X-ray and UV spectral analysis: stress-testing quasi-periodic eruption models
M. Guolo, A. Mummery, T. Wevers +4
We present an analysis of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and XMM-Newton data of the tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate and quasi-periodic eruption (QPE) source GSN 069. Using ult…
Discovery of a likely Type II SN at =3.6 with JWST
D. A. Coulter, J. D. R. Pierel, C. DeCoursey +30
Transient astronomy in the early, high-redshift (z > 3) Universe is an unexplored regime that offers the possibility of probing the first stars and the Epoch of Reionization. Durin…
