The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…
Identifying Tidal Disruption Events with an Expansion of the FLEET Machine Learning Algorithm
Sebastian Gomez, V. Ashley Villar, Edo Berger +5
We present an expansion of FLEET, a machine learning algorithm optimized to select transients that are most likely to be tidal disruption events (TDEs). FLEET is based on a random…
The Jet Opening Angle and Event Rate Distributions of Short Gamma-ray Bursts from Late-time X-ray Afterglows
Alicia Rouco Escorial, Wen-fai Fong, Edo Berger +14
We present a comprehensive study of 29 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed days post-burst using and . We provide the inferred distributi…
A fast rising tidal disruption event from a candidate intermediate mass black hole
C. R. Angus, V. F. Baldassare, B. Mockler +36
Massive black holes (BHs) at the centres of massive galaxies are ubiquitous. The population of BHs within dwarf galaxies, on the other hand, is evasive. Dwarf galaxies are thought…
Optical polarization from colliding stellar stream shocks in a tidal disruption event
I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen, D. Blinov +9
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a supermassive black hole rips apart a passing star. Part of the stellar material falls toward the black hole, forming an accretion disk…
Repeating tidal disruptions in GSN 069: Long-term evolution and constraints on quasi-periodic eruptions' models
G. Miniutti, M. Giustini, R. Arcodia +4
GSN 069 is the first galactic nucleus where quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) have been identified. These are high-amplitude, soft X-ray bursts recurring every ~9 hr, lasting ~1 hr,…
