The concept of stars being tidally ripped apart and consumed by a massive black hole
(MBH) lurking in the center of a galaxy first captivated theorists in the late 1970s. The …

The central nuclei of galaxies, where supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are thought to
reside, can experience phases of activity when they become active galactic nuclei (AGNs) …

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 …

Gas falling into a black hole (BH) from large distances is unaware of BH spin direction, and
misalignment between the accretion disc and BH spin is expected to be common. However …

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), with masses in the range 1 0 0–1 0 6 M⊙, are the
link between stellar-mass BHs and supermassive BHs (SMBHs). They are thought to be the …

Radio observations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) probe material ejected by the disruption
of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs), uniquely tracing the formation and evolution …

We present the results of a Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) archival search for blue
transients that lie in the magnitude range between" normal" core-collapse and …

Major advances in our understanding of the universe have historically arisen from dramatic
improvements in our ability to “see.” We have developed progressively larger telescopes …

Rates of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) due to
two-body relaxation are calculated using a large galaxy sample (N≈ 200) in order to …
