Imprint of local environment on fast radio burst observations
Wenbin Lu, E. Sterl Phinney
When fast radio burst (FRB) waves propagate through the local (< 1 pc) environment of the FRB source, electrons in the plasma undergo large-amplitude oscillations. The finite-ampli…
Jets from Tidal Disruption Events
Fabio De Colle, Wenbin Lu
The discovery of jets from tidal disruption events (TDEs) rejuvenated the old field of relativistic jets powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes. In this Chapter, we fir…
Simulating realistic disc formation in tidal disruption events
Clément Bonnerot, Wenbin Lu
A star coming too close to a supermassive black hole gets disrupted by the tidal force of the compact object in a tidal disruption event, or TDE. Following this encounter, the debr…
Self-intersection of the Fallback Stream in Tidal Disruption Events
Wenbin Lu, Clément Bonnerot
We propose a semi-analytical model for the self-intersection of the fallback stream in tidal disruption events (TDEs). When the initial periapsis is less than about 15 gravitationa…
Tidal Disruptions of Stars by Black Hole Remnants in Dense Star Clusters
Kyle Kremer, Wenbin Lu, Carl L. Rodriguez +2
In a dense stellar environment, such as the core of a globular cluster (GC), dynamical interactions with black holes (BHs) are expected to lead to a variety of astrophysical transi…
Implications from ASKAP Fast Radio Burst Statistics
Wenbin Lu, Anthony L. Piro
Although there has recently been tremendous progress in studies of fast radio bursts (FRBs), the nature of their progenitors remains a mystery. We study the fluence and dispersion…
