  • Radio Afterglow of the Jetted Tidal Disruption Event Swift J1644+57 B.D
    EPJ Web of Conferences 39, 04001 (2012) DOI: 10.1051/epjconf/20123904001 c Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2012 Radio afterglow of the jetted tidal disruption event Swift J1644+57 B.D. Metzger1,a, D. Giannios1, and P. Mimica2 1 Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Peyton Hall, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA 2 Departmento de Astronomia y Astrofisica, University de Valencia, 46100 Burjassot, Spain Abstract. The recent transient event Swift J1644+57 has been interpreted as resulting from a relativistic outflow, powered by the accretion of a tidally disrupted star onto a supermassive black hole. This discovery of a new class of relativistic transients opens new windows into the study of tidal disruption events (TDEs) and offers a unique probe of the physics of relativistic jet formation and the conditions in the centers of distant quiescent galaxies. Unlike the rapidly-varying γ/X-ray emission from Swift J1644+57, the radio emission varies more slowly and is well modeled as synchrotron radiation from the shock interaction between the jet and the gaseous circumnuclear medium (CNM). Early after the onset of the jet, a reverse shock propagates through and decelerates the ejecta released during the first few days of activity, while at much later times the outflow approaches the self-similar evolution of Blandford and McKee. The point at which the reverse shock entirely crosses the earliest ejecta is clearly observed as an achromatic break in the radio light curve at t ≈ 10 days. The flux and break frequencies of the afterglow constrain the properties of the jet and the CNM, including providing robust evidence for a narrowly collimated jet.

  • In-System'' Fission-Events: an Insight Into Puzzles of Exoplanets and Stars?

Abstract: In expansion of our recent proposal that the solar system’s evolution occurred in two stages—during the first stage, the gaseous giants formed (via disk instability), and, during the second stage (caused by an encounter with a particular stellar-object leading to “in-system” fission- driven nucleogenesis), the terrestrial planets formed (via accretion)—we emphasize here that the mechanism of formation of such stellar-objects is generally universal and therefore encounters of such objects with stellar-systems may have occurred elsewhere across galaxies. If so, their aftereffects may perhaps be observed as puzzling features in the spectra of individual stars (such as idiosyncratic chemical enrichments) and/or in the structures of exoplanetary systems (such as unusually high planet densities or short orbital periods). This paper reviews and reinterprets astronomical data within the “fission-events framework”. Classification of stellar systems as “pristine” or “impacted” is offered.

  • Experimental Evidence of Black Holes Andreas Müller
    Experimental Evidence of Black Holes Andreas Müller∗ Max–Planck–Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, p.o. box 1312, D–85741 Garching, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Classical black holes are solutions of the field equations of General Relativity. Many astronomi- cal observations suggest that black holes really exist in nature. However, an unambiguous proof for their existence is still lacking. Neither event horizon nor intrinsic curvature singularity have been observed by means of astronomical techniques. This paper introduces to particular features of black holes. Then, we give a synopsis on current astronomical techniques to detect black holes. Further methods are outlined that will become important in the near future. For the first time, the zoo of black hole detection techniques is completely presented and classified into kinematical, spectro–relativistic, accretive, eruptive, ob- scurative, aberrative, temporal, and gravitational–wave induced verification methods. Principal and technical obstacles avoid undoubtfully proving black hole existence. We critically discuss alternatives to the black hole. However, classical rotating Kerr black holes are still the best theo- retical model to explain astronomical observations. arXiv:astro-ph/0701228v1 9 Jan 2007 School on Particle Physics, Gravity and Cosmology 21 August - 2 September 2006 Dubrovnik, Croatia ∗Speaker. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence. http://pos.sissa.it/ Experimental Evidence of Black Holes Andreas Müller 1.

  • Tidal Disruption Events in Active Galactic Nuclei

The disruption itself is unaffected by the disk, but the evolution of the bound debris stream is modified by its collision with the disk when it returns to pericenter. The outcome of the collision is largely determined by the ratio of the stream mass current to the azimuthal mass current of the disk rotating underneath the stream footprint, which in turns depends on the mass and luminosity of the AGN. To characterize TDEs in AGNs, we simulated a suite of stream–disk collisions with various mass current ratios. The collision excites shocks in the disk, leading to inflow and energy dissipation orders of magnitude above Eddington; however, much of the radiation is trapped in the inflow and advected into the black hole, so the actual bolometric luminosity may be closer to Eddington. The emergent spectrum may not be thermal, TDE-like, or AGN-like.

How can we increase our understanding of the physics of accre- tion onto black holes? 4. Can we localize sources of gravitational waves from the de- tection of tidal disruption events around massive black holes and recoiling binary black hole mergers? 1 Introduction Dynamical studies of nearby galaxies suggest that most if not all galaxies with a bulge component host a central supermassive black hole (SMBH), and that the bulge and BH masses are tightly correlated [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. This is referred to as the MBH−σ∗ relation, where the velocity dispersion (σ∗) of bulge stars is a proxy of the bulge mass.

    Using High-Energy Neutrinos As Cosmic Magnetometers Mauricio Bustamante1, ∗ and Irene Tamborra1, y 1Niels Bohr International Academy & DARK, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark (Dated: September 2, 2020) Magnetic fields are crucial in shaping the non-thermal emission of the TeV{PeV neutrinos of astrophysical origin seen by the IceCube neutrino telescope. The sources of these neutrinos are un- known, but if they harbor a strong magnetic field, then the synchrotron energy losses of the neutrino parent particles|protons, pions, and muons|leave characteristic imprints on the neutrino energy distribution and its flavor composition. We use high-energy neutrinos as \cosmic magnetometers" to constrain the identity of their sources by placing limits on the strength of the magnetic field in them. We look for evidence of synchrotron losses in public IceCube data: 6 years of High Energy Starting Events (HESE) and 2 years of Medium Energy Starting Events (MESE). In the absence of evidence, we place an upper limit of 10 kG{10 MG (95% C.L.) on the average magnetic field strength of the sources. I.

  • Attraction and Rejection Forces
    Emanuel Gafton Tidal disruptions are astrophysical events in which a star that ap- proaches a supermassive black hole too closely is ripped apart by tidal Attraction and Rejection forces. The resulting stream of stellar fluid falls back towards the hole, circularizes into an accretion disc, and gives rise to a bright transient. On the love–hate relationship between stars and black holes In this thesis we present a new method for simulating such events under the framework of general relativity, but at a very reduced computational cost. We apply this method to study how relativistic and Rejection Attraction Emanuel Gafton effects such as periapsis shift and Lense–Thirring precession affect the outcome of a tidal disruption.

Abstract Solitary stars wandering too close to the supermassive black hole at the centre of their galaxy may become tidally disrupted, if the tidal forces due to the black hole overcome the self-gravity holding the star together. Depending on the strength of the encounter, the star may be partially disrupted, resulting in a surviving stellar core and two tidal arms, or may be completely disrupted, resulting in a long and thin tidal stream expected to fall back and circularize into an accretion disc (the two cases are illustrated on the cover of this thesis).

In the first part, we focus on studying the nuclear outbursts in the centers of galaxies and their nature in order to better understand the behavior of central Super Massive Black Holes (SMBHs) and their interaction with the surrounding environment, and to better understand the accretion disk structure. Nuclear outbursts can be better understood by studying the changes in the broad emission lines and the underlying continuum. We quantify the properties of these nuclear outbursts using multi-wavelength observations including optical, ultraviolet, and X-rays from MDM Observatory, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, Swift, and Magellan. Some of these nuclear outbursts are linked to Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) and nuclear supernovae (SNs), while a number of these events are proposed to be a rare phenomenon called “changing-look” Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). These types of AGNs have been observed to optically transition from type 1 to type 2 and vice versa on timescales of months to years, where broad emission lines such as Hα and Hβ appeared or disappeared followed by an increase or decrease in the continuum light.
