Gezari, Suvi, Heckman, Tim, Cenko, S. Bradley, Eracleous, Michael, Forster, Karl, Gonçalves, Thiago S., ...
A dormant supermassive black hole lurking in the center of a galaxy will be revealed when a star passes close enough to be torn apart by tidal forces, and a flare of electromagnetic radiation is...

Probing Quiescent Massive Black Holes: Insights from Tidal Disruption Events (2009)
Gezari, Suvi, Strubbe, Linda, Bloom, Joshua S., Grindlay, J. E., Soderberg, Alicia, Elvis, Martin, ...
Tidal disruption events provide a unique probe of quiescent black holes in the nuclei of distant galaxies. The next generation of synoptic surveys will yield a large sample of flares from the tidal...
SN 1994W: an interacting supernova or two interacting shells? (2009)
Dessart, Luc, Hillier, D. John, Gezari, Suvi, Basa, Stéphane, Matheson, Tom
We present a multi-epoch quantitative spectroscopic analysis of the Type IIn supernova (Type IIn SN) 1994W, an event interpreted by Chugai et al. as stemming from the interaction between the ejecta...
The Dynamic X-ray Sky of the Local Universe (2009)
Soderberg, Alicia M., Grindlay, Jonathan E., Bloom, Joshua S., Gezari, Suvi, Piro, Anthony L., Belloni, Tomaso, ...
Over the next decade, we can expect time domain astronomy to flourish at optical and radio wavelengths. In parallel with these efforts, a dedicated transient "machine" operating at higher energies...
SDSSJ092712.65+294344.0: NGC 1275 at z=0.7? (2008)
Heckman, Timothy M., Krolik, Julian H., Moran, Sean M., Schnittman, Jeremy, Gezari, Suvi
SDSSJ092712.65+294344.0 was identified by the SDSS as a quasar, but has the unusual property of having two emission line systems offset by 2650 km/s. One of these contains the usual combination of...
