Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are rare, 10^(-7)/yr/Mpc^3 (Hung et al. 2018), yet the large survey volume of LSST implies a very large detection rate of 200/yr/(1000 deg^2) (van Velzen et al. 2011), a factor of 250 increase in the detection…
Over the past decade wide-field optical time-domain surveys have increased the discovery rate of transients to the point that $\lesssim 10\%$ are being spectroscopically classified. Despite this, these surveys have enabled the discovery of…
A setup for extreme-ultraviolet time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (XUV-TRPES) of liquids is described based on a gas-dynamic flat jet formed by a microfluidic chip device. In comparison to a cylindrical jet that has a typical…
