The birth of a relativistic jet following the disruption of a star by a cosmological black hole

DR Pasham, M Lucchini, T Laskar, BP Gompertz… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
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 boosted by several …

Precise measurements of self-absorbed rising reverse shock emission from gamma-ray burst 221009A

JS Bright, L Rhodes, W Farah, R Fender… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
The deaths of massive stars are sometimes accompanied by the launch of highly relativistic
and collimated jets. If the jet is pointed towards Earth, we observe a 'prompt'gamma-ray burst …
