UV to near-IR observations of the DART-Dimorphos collision

E. O. Ofek, D. Kushnir, D. Polishook +15

The impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft with Dimorphos allows us to study asteroid collision physics, including momentum transfer, the ejecta propertie…

A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole

Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…

Identification of a Local Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts Consistent with a Magnetar Giant Flare Origin

E. Burns, D. Svinkin, K. Hurley +23

Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are known to arise from distinct progenitor channels: short GRBs mostly from neutron star mergers and long GRBs from a rare type of core-collap…
