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…

Self-Supervised Clustering on Image-Subtracted Data with Deep-Embedded Self-Organizing Map

Y. -L. Mong, K. Ackley, T. L. Killestein +45

Developing an effective automatic classifier to separate genuine sources from artifacts is essential for transient follow-ups in wide-field optical surveys. The identification of t…

Panning for gold, but finding helium: discovery of the ultra-stripped supernova SN2019wxt from gravitational-wave follow-up observations

I. Agudo, L. Amati, T. An +96

We present the results from multi-wavelength observations of a transient discovered during the follow-up of S191213g, a gravitational wave (GW) event reported by the LIGO-Virgo Col…

Mechanisms for high spin in black-hole neutron-star binaries and kilonova emission: inheritance and accretion

Nathan Steinle, Benjamin P. Gompertz, Matt Nicholl

A black-hole neutron-star binary merger can lead to an electromagnetic counterpart called a kilonova if the neutron star is disrupted prior to merger. The observability of a kilono…

Towards an understanding of long gamma-ray burst environments through circumstellar medium population synthesis predictions

A. A. Chrimes, B. P. Gompertz, D. A. Kann +8

The temporal and spectral evolution of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows can be used to infer the density and density profile of the medium through which the shock is propagating. I…

VLBI observations of GRB 201015A, a relatively faint GRB with a hint of Very High Energy gamma-ray emission

S. Giarratana, L. Rhodes, B. Marcote +14

GRB 201015A is a long-duration Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) which was detected at very high energies (> 100 GeV) using the MAGIC telescopes. If confirmed, this would be the fifth and leas…
