Unusual Hard X-Ray Flares Caught in NICER Monitoring of the Binary Supermassive Black Hole Candidate AT2019cuk/Tick Tock/SDSS J1430+2303

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The nuclear transient AT2019cuk/Tick Tock/SDSS J1430+2303 has been suggested to harbor a supermassive black hole (SMBH) binary near coalescence. We report results from high-cadence NICER X-ray monitoring with multiple visits per day from 2022 January to ...

Optical properties of impulsive flares

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1990
The optical and morphological properties of impulsive flares are examined, showing that all impulsive flares occur close to sunspots and on magnetic inversion lines with steep gradients. Impulsive flares are defined and flare brightness variations and the magnetic structure of flares are discussed.

Multiwavelength Observations of 6 BL Lac Objects in 2008-2012

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
We present results of 4 years of VLBA monitoring along with γ-ray and optical R-band photometric observations of 6 BL Lac objects (3C 66A, S5 0716+71, PKS 0735+17, S4 0954+68, W Com, and OT 081).

A Possible Mechanism for the “Late Phase” in Stellar White-light Flares

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
M dwarf flares observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) sometimes exhibit a peak-bump light-curve morphology, characterized by a secondary, gradual peak well after the main, impulsive peak.

GRB Flares: UV/Optical Flaring (Paper I)

open access: yes, 2013
We present a new algorithm for the detection of flares in gamma-ray burst (GRB) light curves and use this algorithm to detect flares in the UV/optical. The algorithm makes use of the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) to analyze the residuals of the fitted light curve, removing all major features, and to determine the statistically best fit to the ...

Optical Flare Search on the RS CVn-type flare stars AR Lacertae

open access: yes, 2022
We present the results of fast spectrophotometry of flares on the RS CVn-type star AR Lac with a time resolution of 34 s and a spectroscopic resolution R $\sim $ 1300. The observations were performed on July 21-22, 2021 with the 2.0 m Karl Zeiss telescope at the Terskol Observatory.

Optical Polarimetry and Radio Observations of PKS1510-089 between 2009 and 2013

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
The blazar PKS 1510-089 has shown intense activity at γ -rays in the recent years. In this work, we discussed the results of our 7 mm radio continuum and optical polarimetric monitoring between 2009 and 2013. In 2009, we detected a large rotation of

Case Report: Investigation of the Time Evolution of Optical Breakdown Plasma During Irradiation of Aqueous Solutions of Fe Nanoparticles

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
The time sweeps of images of optical breakdown plasma flashes under irradiation of aqueous solutions of Fe nanoparticles with Nd: YAG laser radiation (λ = 1,064 nm, τ = 10 ns, ν = 10 kHz, ε = 2 mJ) are studied. It is shown that the sizes of plasma flares,

Effect of Foot Orthoses on Midfoot Pain and the Volume of Bone Marrow Lesions in the Midfoot: A Randomized Mechanism of Action Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Foot orthoses are thought to improve pain by potentially modifying internal mechanical forces. To test this, we explored whether foot orthoses can modify patterns of bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in people with midfoot pain. Methods Forty‐two people were recruited with midfoot pain, and magnetic resonance imaging–confirmed midfoot BMLs ...

A Multiwavelength Survey of Nearby M Dwarfs: Optical and Near-ultraviolet Flares and Activity with Contemporaneous TESS, Kepler/K2, Swift, and HST Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength investigation into flares and activity in nearby M dwarf stars. We leverage the most extensive contemporaneous data set obtained through the Transiting Exoplanet Sky Survey, Kepler/K2, the Neil Gehrels Swift ...
