We present ground-based and Swift photometric spectroscopic observations of the candidate tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-14li, found at center PGC 043234 ($d\simeq90$ Mpc) by All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). The source had a peak bolometric luminosity $L\simeq10^{44}$ ergs s$^{-1}$ total integrated energy $E\simeq7\times10^{50}$ radiated over $\sim6$ months presented. UV/optical emission is well-fit blackbody with roughly constant temperature $T\sim35,000$ K, while...

Novel covalently porphyrin-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been synthesized by the reaction of SWNTs with in situ generated porphyrin diazonium compounds. The resulting nanohybrid was characterized spectroscopic (UV-Vis-NIR, FTIR and Raman) microscopic (TEM AFM) methods. Raman absorption spectroscopy data showed that electronic properties modified tubes were mostly retained, without damaging their one-dimensional properties. fluorescence from moiety almost...

Abstract We present early-time, hour-to-day cadence spectroscopy of the nearby Type II supernova (SN II) 2024ggi, which was discovered at a phase when SN shock had just emerged from red supergiant (RSG) progenitor star. Over first few days after light, 2024ggi exhibited prominent narrow emission lines formed through intense and persistent photoionization circumstellar material (CSM). In 63 hr, spectral He, C, N, O revealed rapid rise in ionization as result progressive sweeping up CSM by...

ABSTRACT Episodic accretion is one of the competing models to explain observed luminosity spread in young stellar clusters. These short-lived high events could also have a strong impact on planet formation. Observations high-amplitude variability objects (YSOs) due large changes rate provide direct observational evidence for episodic accretion. However, there are still uncertainties frequency these and if universal among YSOs. To determine outbursts Class I YSOs, we built robust sample at...

Abstract The mass accretion process controls pre-main-sequence evolution, although its intrinsic instability has yet to be fully understood, especially towards the protostellar stage. In this work, we have undertaken a thorough examination of mid-infrared variability Spitzer-selected YSOs in Cygnus-X star-forming region over last decade, using NEOWISE time series. This work compares two groups young stars: embedded Class I objects, and more evolved flat-spectrum/Class II sources. We report...
