Time-resolved Hubble Space Telescope UV observations of an X-ray quasi-periodic eruption source

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Thomas Wevers, Muryel Guolo, Sean Lockwood, Andrew Mummery, Dheeraj R. Pasham | Summary: X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a novel mode of variability in nearby galactic nuclei whose origin remains unknown. Their multi-wavelength properties are poorly constrained, as studies have focused almost entirely on the X-ray […]

Multi-wavelength observations of a jet launch in real time from the post-changing-look Active Galaxy 1ES 1927+654

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Sibasish Laha, Eileen T. Meyer, Dev R. Sadaula, Ritesh Ghosh, Dhrubojyoti Sengupta | Summary: We present results from a high cadence multi-wavelength observational campaign of the enigmatic changing look AGN 1ES 1927+654 from May 2022- April 2024, coincident with an unprecedented radio flare (an increase in flux […]

Enhanced Condensation Through Rotation

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Maxim Chernodub, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: We argue that the rotation of a thin superconducting cylinder can increase the critical temperature of the superconducting phase transition substantially. The phenomenon can be interpreted as an effective negative moment of inertia associated with condensation of Cooper pairs. […]

Millihertz Oscillations Near the Innermost Orbit of a Supermassive Black Hole

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou, William N. Alston, Joheen Chakraborty | Summary: Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repetitive events around SMBHs, including the newly-discovered quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs), are […]
