Detection of disk-jet co-precession in a tidal disruption event

Yanan Wang, Zikun Lin, Linhui Wu +46

Theories and simulations predict that intense spacetime curvature near black holes bends the trajectories of light and matter, driving disk and jet precession under relativistic to…

A Wind-Driven Origin for the Firework Morphology of the Supernova Remnant Pa 30

Eric R. Coughlin, Greg Salvesen, Dheeraj R. Pasham

Pa 30 -- the likely remnant of the Galactic type Iax supernova of 1181 AD -- displays an unusual, firework-like morphology, consisting of radial filaments extending from a common c…

NICER observations reveal doubled timescales in Ansky's quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs)

L. Hernández-García, P. Sánchez-Sáez, J. Chakraborty +11

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are recurring X-ray bursts originating from the vicinity of supermassive black holes, but their driving mechanisms remain under debate. This study a…

Optical/infrared observations of the extraordinary GRB 250702B: a highly obscured afterglow in a massive galaxy consistent with multiple possible progenitors

Jonathan Carney, Igor Andreoni, Brendan O'Connor +31

GRB 250702B was the longest gamma-ray burst ever detected, with a duration that challenges standard collapsar models and suggests an exotic progenitor. We collected a rich set of o…

Time-resolved Hubble Space Telescope UV observations of an X-ray quasi-periodic eruption source

Thomas Wevers, Muryel Guolo, Sean Lockwood +3

X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel mode of variability in nearby galactic nuclei whose origin remains unknown. Their multi-wavelength properties are poorly constrain…

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…
