Heavy-element production in a compact object merger observed by JWST
The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central
interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray bursts …

The final season reimagined: 30 tidal disruption events from the ZTF-I Survey
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique way to study dormant black holes. While the
number of observed TDEs has grown thanks to the emergence of wide-field surveys in the …

A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy that are released when
supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes too …
