RX J 1420 . 4 + 5334 – another tidal disruption event ? ?

چکیده
We have discovered a transient X-ray source, RX J1420.4+5334, which displays a ROSAT flux variation of > ∼ 150 between the ROSAT All-Sky-Survey in 1990 and a preceding pointed ROSAT observations in July 1990. Optical observations suggest a non-active galaxy as the only visible counterpart. We therefore tentatively identify RX J1420.4+5334 as a tidal disruption event in a non-active galaxy.

We determine the first fossil group luminosity function based on spectroscopy of the member galaxies. The fossil group RX J1552.2+2013 has 36 confirmed members, it is at a mean redshift of 0.136 and has a velocity dispersion of 623 km s (or 797 km s if four emission lines galaxies in the outskirts of the velocity distribution are included).

متن کاملStellar Tidal Processes Near Massive Black Holes
Close tidal interactions of stars with a central massive black hole (MBH) or with other stars in the high density cusp around it can affect a significant fraction of the stellar population within the MBH radius of influence. We consider three strong processes that have the potential of modifying stellar structure and evolution there. (1) Tidal spin-up by hyperbolic star-star encounters. (2) Tid...
متن کاملA candidate tidal disruption event in the Galaxy cluster Abell 3571
Context. Tidal disruption events are possible sources of temporary nuclear activity in galactic nuclei and can be considered as good indicators of the existence of supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies. Aims. A new X-ray source has been detected serendipitously with ROSAT in a PSPC pointed observation of the galaxy cluster A3571. Given the strong flux decay of the object in subseq...
متن کاملProspects for gravitational-wave observations of neutron-star tidal disruption in neutron-star-black-hole binaries.
For an inspiraling neutron-star-black-hole (NS-BH) binary, we estimate the gravity-wave frequency f(td) at the onset of NS tidal disruption. We model the NS as a tidally distorted, homogeneous, Newtonian ellipsoid on a circular, equatorial geodesic around a Kerr BH. We find that f(td) depends strongly on the NS radius R, and estimate that LIGO-II (ca. 2006-2008) might measure R to 15% precision...
