The week-long shredding offers a long-sought missing link between very rapid and once-a-year disruption events, astronomers say.
indicates such half-deaths could even be more common than demolished ones — but past outbursts either occurred every few hours or once a year. The team's new observations provide a sweet middle.
"Swift J0230 is an exciting addition to the class of partially-disrupted stars as it shows us that the two classes of these objects already found are really connected, with our new system giving us the missing link," Rob Eyles-Ferris, a research associate at the University of Leicester in the U.K., said in aThe team calls Swift J0230 a"serendipitous discovery," as previous observations between December 2021 and January 2022 did not sniff out the disruptive event.
The team's best guess for Swift J0230's location is close to the center of the galaxy, as one might expect because that's where black holes typically reside. However, it's notable that the spot suspected to hold the star also coincides with the location of a Type-II supernova discovered in 2020.
The black hole part of this equation resides at the center of a galaxy named 2MASX J02301709+2836050, a small one with a mass of about 10,000 to 100,000 times
