A fast-rising tidal disruption event from a candidate intermediate-mass black hole

CR Angus, VF Baldassare, B Mockler, RJ Foley… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Massive black holes (BHs) at the centres of massive galaxies are ubiquitous. The population
of BHs within dwarf galaxies, on the other hand, is not yet known. Dwarf galaxies are thought …

Delayed appearance and evolution of coronal lines in the TDE AT2019qiz

P Short, A Lawrence, M Nicholl, M Ward… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star gets torn apart by a supermassive black
hole as it crosses its tidal radius. We present late-time optical and X-ray observations of the …

A long-duration gamma-ray burst of dynamical origin from the nucleus of an ancient galaxy

AJ Levan, DB Malesani, BP Gompertz, AE Nugent… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
The majority of long-duration (> 2 s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) arise from the collapse of
massive stars, with a small proportion created from the merger of compact objects. Most of …

Most, if not all, galaxies harbor at their center a supermassive black hole (SMBH) that sculpts
the dynamics of objects inhabiting galactic nuclei. SMBH binaries (SMBHBs) are expected to …

The Tidal Disruption Event AT2021ehb: Evidence of Relativistic Disk Reflection, and Rapid Evolution of the Disk–Corona System
