TDE 2025abcr: A Tidal Disruption Event in the Outskirts of a Massive Galaxy

Robert Stein, Jonathan Carney, Charlotte Ward +27

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) have traditionally been discovered in optical sky surveys through targeted searches of nuclear transients. However, it is expected that some TDEs wil…

AT2019cmw: A highly luminous, cooling featureless TDE candidate from the disruption of a high mass star in an early-type galaxy

Jacob L. Wise, Daniel A. Perley, Nikhil Sarin +23

We present optical/UV photometric and spectroscopic observations, as well as X-ray and radio follow-up, of the extraordinary event AT2019cmw. With a peak bolometric luminosity of ~…

A Massive Black Hole 0.8 kpc from the Host Nucleus Revealed by the Offset Tidal Disruption Event AT2024tvd

Yuhan Yao, Ryan Chornock, Charlotte Ward +31

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) that are spatially offset from the nuclei of their host galaxies offer a new probe of massive black hole (MBH) wanderers, binaries, triples, and reco…

Panic at the ISCO: time-varying double-peaked broad lines from evolving accretion disks are common amongst optically variable AGN

Charlotte Ward, Suvi Gezari, Peter Nugent +12

About 3-10\% of Type I active galactic nuclei (AGN) have double-peaked broad Balmer lines in their optical spectra originating from the motion of gas in their accretion disk. Doubl…

Outlier Detection in the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey

Yan Liang, Peter Melchior, ChangHoon Hahn +3

We present an unsupervised search for outliers in the Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) dataset from the DESI Early Data Release. This analysis utilizes an autoencoder to compress galaxy…

Integral Field Spectroscopy of 13 Tidal Disruption Event Hosts from the ZTF Survey

Erica Hammerstein, S. Bradley Cenko, Suvi Gezari +6

The host galaxies of tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been shown to possess peculiar properties, including high central light concentrations, unusual star-formation histories, a…
