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 …

Ubiquitous Late Radio Emission from Tidal Disruption Events

Y Cendes, E Berger, KD Alexander… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We present radio observations of 23 optically discovered tidal disruption events (TDEs) on

In-plane tidal disruption of stars in discs of active galactic nuclei

T Ryu, B McKernan, KES Ford… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Stars embedded in active galactic nucleus (AGN) discs or captured by them may scatter onto
the supermassive black hole (SMBH), leading to a tidal disruption event (TDE). Using the …

Unveiling the quasar main sequence: illuminating the complexity of active galactic nuclei and their evolution

S Panda - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2024 - frontiersin.org
The Eigenvector 1 schema, or the main sequence of quasars, was introduced as an
analogous scheme to the HR diagram that would allow us to understand the more complex …

We present observations from X-ray to mid-infrared wavelengths of the most energetic non-
quasar transient ever observed, AT2021lwx. Our data show a single optical brightening by a …

The fast transient AT 2023clx in the nearby LINER galaxy NGC 3799 as a tidal disruption of a very low-mass star

P Charalampopoulos, R Kotak, T Wevers… - Astronomy & …, 2024 - aanda.org
We present an extensive analysis of the optical and ultraviolet (UV) properties of AT 2023clx,
the closest optical/UV tidal disruption event (TDE) to date (z= 0.01107), which occurred in …

Swift/UVOT discovery of Swift J221951−484240: a UV luminous ambiguous nuclear transient

SR Oates, NPM Kuin, M Nicholl… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
We report the discovery of Swift J221951− 484240 (hereafter: J221951), a luminous slow-
evolving blue transient that was detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory …

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 …

The extremes of AGN variability: outbursts, deep fades, changing looks, exceptional spectral states, and semi-periodicities

S Komossa, D Grupe, P Marziani, LC Popovic… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
The extremes of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) variability offer valuable new insights into the
drivers and physics of AGN. We discuss some of the most extreme cases of AGN variability; …
