A Tidal Disruption Event in a Nearby Galaxy Hosting an Intermediate Mass Black Hole
We report the serendipitous discovery of a bright point source flare in the Abell cluster A1795 with archival EUVE and Chandra observations. Assuming the EUVE emission is associated with the Chandra source, the X-ray 0.5–7 keV flux declined by a factor of ∼2300 over a time span of 6 yr, following a power-law decay with index ∼2.44 ± 0.40. The Chandra data alone vary by a factor of ∼20. The spec...
متن کاملEnhanced Tidal Disruption Rates from Massive Black Hole Binaries
“Hard” massive black hole (MBH) binaries embedded in steep stellar cusps can shrink via threebody slingshot interactions. We show that this process will inevitably be accompanied by a burst of stellar tidal disruptions, at a rate that can be several orders of magnitude larger than that appropriate for a single MBH. Our numerical scattering experiments reveal that: 1) a significant fraction of s...
متن کاملEvidence for quiescent synchrotron emission in the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1357.2–0933
We present high time-resolution optical and infrared observations of the edge-on black hole X-ray transient Swift J1357.2-0933. Our data taken in 2012 shows the system to be at its pre-outburst magnitude and so the system is in quiescence. In contrast to other X-ray transients, the quiescent light curves of Swift J1357.2-0933 do not show the secondary star’s ellipsoidal modulation. The optical ...
متن کاملFlaring from the supermassive black hole in Mrk 335 studied with Swift and NuSTAR
Monitoring of the narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy Markarian 335 (Mrk 335) with the Swift satellite discovered an X-ray flare beginning 2014 August 29. At the peak, the 0.5-5 keV count rate had increased from that in the low flux state by a factor of 10. A target of opportunity observation was triggered with NuSTAR, catching the decline of the flare on 2014 September 20. We present a joint analysis...
متن کاملSpectroscopic SWIFT
INTRODUCTION Often the ability to obtain chemical-shift information is needed and advantageous in MRI. In addition to providing chemical information, the acquired spectral dimension can also be used to reduce image blur resulting from frequency shifts of all types. This work describes a new 3D and 4D spectroscopic technique involving an intrinsic frequency dimension. The method is based on an o...
