Difference: Projects (11 vs. 12)

A closer look at TDE hosts

• Lead: Erica Hammerstein (UMD)
• Others Participating: Brad Cenko (GSFC), Suvi Gezari (Stsci)
• Thesis? Yes. Expected completion date: TBD
• Abstract: This study will build on Hammerstein et al. (2021) but will include higher resolution imaging to better understand the structure of TDE hosts on scales closer to the nucleus of the host. Low surface brightness features can also be found with better imaging than what SDSS provides.

A broad look at TDEs in the UV

• Lead: Erica Hammerstein (UMD)
• Others Participating: Brad Cenko (GSFC), Suvi Gezari (Stsci)
• Thesis? Yes. Expected completion date: TBD
• Abstract: The project is in the very early stages. We are interested in looking at the UV spectra of TDEs to further understand UV properties and potential connections to optical classifications. Potential for UV imaging component as well.
