The nascent milliquasar VT J154843.06+220812.6: tidal disruption event or extreme accretion-state change?
Jean J. Somalwar, Vikram Ravi, Dillon Dong +5
We present detailed multiwavelength follow up of a nuclear radio flare, VT J154843.06+220812.6, hereafter VT J1548. VT J1548 was selected as a mJy radio flare in 3 GHz ob…
Infrared dust echoes from neutron star mergers
Wenbin Lu, Christopher F. McKee, Kunal P. Mooley
A significant fraction of binary neutron star mergers occur in star-forming galaxies where the UV-optical and soft X-ray afterglow emission from the relativistic jet may be absorbe…
Implications of a rapidly varying FRB in a globular cluster of M81
Wenbin Lu, Paz Beniamini, Pawan Kumar
A repeating source of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is recently discovered from a globular cluster of M81. Association to a globular cluster (or other old stellar systems) suggests that…
The nozzle shock in tidal disruption events
Clément Bonnerot, Wenbin Lu
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star gets torn apart by the strong tidal forces of a supermassive black hole, which results in the formation of a debris stream that par…
Kinematics of Crab Giant Pulses
Akanksha Bij, Hsiu-Hsien Lin, Dongzi Li +7
The Crab Pulsar's radio emission is unusual, consisting predominantly of giant pulses, with durations of about a micro-second but structure down to the nano-second level, and brigh…
Survival times of supramassive neutron stars resulting from binary neutron star mergers
Paz Beniamini, Wenbin Lu
A binary neutron star (BNS) merger can lead to various outcomes, from indefinitely stable neutron stars, through supramassive (SMNS) or hypermassive (HMNS) neutron stars supported…
