Live to die another day: the rebrightening of AT 2018fyk as a repeating partial tidal disruption event

T Wevers, ER Coughlin, DR Pasham… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Stars that interact with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can be either completely or
partially destroyed by tides. In a partial tidal disruption event (TDE), the high-density core of …

Quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions years after a nearby tidal disruption event

M Nicholl, DR Pasham, A Mummery, M Guolo… - Nature, 2024 - nature.com
Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are luminous bursts of soft X-rays from the nuclei of
galaxies, repeating on timescales of hours to weeks,,,–. The mechanism behind these rare …

Multimessenger astronomy with black holes

DJ D'Orazio, M Charisi, A Derdzinski, L Zwick… - Black Holes in the Era of …, 2024 - Elsevier
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 …

Cooling Envelope Model for Tidal Disruption Events

BD Metzger - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a toy model for the thermal optical/UV/X-ray emission from tidal disruption
events (TDEs). Motivated by recent hydrodynamical simulations, we assume that the debris …

Radio afterglows from tidal disruption events: An unbiased sample from ASKAP RACS

A Anumarlapudi, D Dobie, DL Kaplan… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Late-time (∼ a year) radio follow-up of optically discovered tidal disruption events (TDEs) is
increasingly resulting in detections at radio wavelengths, and there is growing evidence for …

Eddington envelopes: The fate of stars on parabolic orbits tidally disrupted by supermassive black holes

DJ Price, D Liptai, I Mandel, J Shepherd… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Stars falling too close to massive black holes in the centers of galaxies can be torn apart by
the strong tidal forces. Simulating the subsequent feeding of the black hole with disrupted …

Spectropolarimetry of the Type IIP supernova 2021yja: an unusually high continuum polarization during the photospheric phase

SS Vasylyev, Y Yang, KC Patra… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We present six epochs of optical spectropolarimetry of the Type IIP supernova (SN) 2021yja
ranging from∼ 25 to 95 d after the explosion. An unusually high continuum linear …

Multiwavelength Polarization Observations of Mrk 501

XK Hu, YW Yu, J Zhang, XG Wang… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Mrk 501 is a prototypical high-synchrotron-peaked blazar and serves as one of the primary
targets for the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). In this study, we report X-ray …

Spin-induced offset stream self-crossing shocks in tidal disruption events

T Jankovič, C Bonnerot… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Tidal disruption events occur when a star is disrupted by a supermassive black hole,
resulting in an elongated stream of gas that partly falls back to the pericentre. Due to apsidal …

Choked jets in expanding envelope as the origin of the neutrino emission associated with Tidal Disruption Events

JH Zheng, RY Liu, XY Wang - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Three tidal disruption event (TDE) candidates (AT2019dsg, AT2019fdr, AT2019aalc) have
been found to be coincident with high-energy astrophysical neutrinos in multimessenger …
