• Shocks and Cold Fronts in Galaxy Clusters --- Probing the Microphysics of the Intracluster Medium 

  Wang, Qian (2018)

  Shocks and cold fronts in galaxy clusters, the largest gravitationally bound systems in the universe, are astrophysical laboratories where we can study the microphysics of the intracluster medium (ICM), a very hot ...

• The Search for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in the Time Domain 

  Liu, Tingting (2018)

  Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are expected due to galaxy mergers and the ubiquity of central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galaxies, but direct evidence for close-separation SMBHBs has been elusive. This ...

• SIFTING FOR SAPPHIRES IN THE TRANSIENT SKY: THE SEARCH FOR TIDAL DISRUPTION EVENTS IN THE OPTICAL TIME DOMAIN 

  HUNG, TZU-YU (2018)

  Tidal disruption events (TDEs) refer to the scenario where a star passes within the tidal disruption sphere of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and becomes torn apart by tidal stresses. In the classical picture, a ...

(arXiv.org, 2018-11-19)

  Since 2014, the Niel Gehrels Swift observatory has conducted a series of intensive accretion disk reverberation mapping (IDRM) campaigns of bright AGN. This archive contains reduced data from the first four of these ...
