A well-monitored, X-ray selected, tidal disruption event [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 We report on a candidate tidal disruption event detected in the XMM-Newton slew survey from the nucleus of SDSS J120136.02+300305.5 (z = 0.146; hereafter SDSS J1201+30).

The Astrophysical Journal LettersIn this Letter, we simulate the collision between outflows from the tidal disruption of a 1 M _⊙ main-sequence star around a 10 ^6 M _⊙ black hole and an initially spherically symmetric circumnuclear cloud.

Late-time Radio Flares in Tidal Disruption Events [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalRadio monitoring unveiled late (hundreds to a thousand days) radio flares in a significant fraction of tidal disruption events. We propose that these late-time radio flares are a natural outcome if the surrounding density profile flattens outside the ...

Shocks Power Tidal Disruption Events
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Accretion of debris seems to be the natural mechanism to power the radiation emitted during a tidal disruption event (TDE), in which a supermassive black hole tears apart a star.

Nuclear Physics with Gravitational Waves from Neutron Stars Disrupted by Black Holes
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Gravitational waves from neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers that undergo tidal disruption provide a potential avenue to study the equation of state of neutron stars and hence the behavior of matter at its most extreme densities.

Extremely Relativistic Tidal Disruption Events
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Extreme tidal disruption events (eTDEs), which occur when a star passes very close to a supermassive black hole, may provide a way to observe a long-sought general relativistic effect: orbits that wind several times around a black hole and then leave ...

Interpretation of the Observed Neutrino Emission from Three Tidal Disruption Events
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Three Tidal Disruption Event candidates (AT2019 dsg , AT2019 fdr , and AT2019 aalc ) have been associated with high-energy astrophysical neutrinos in multimessenger follow-ups.

Relativistic tidal disruption events
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 In March 2011 Swift detected an extremely luminous and long-lived outburst from the nucleus of an otherwise quiescent, low luminosity (LMC-like) galaxy. Named Swift J1644+57, its combination of high-energy luminosity (1048 ergs s−1 at peak), rapid X-ray ...

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report the discovery of a faint optical tidal disruption event (TDE) in the nearby star-forming galaxy NGC 3799. Identification of the TDE is based on its position at the galaxy nucleus, a light curve declining as t ^−5/3 , a blue continuum with an ...

Tidal flares and rates from an archival cluster survey
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Tidal disruption flares (TDFs) are potent indicators of the co-evolution of galaxies and the massive black holes (MBHs) which they host in their nuclei, both in terms of the individual black holes revealed by tidal flares and in terms of the overall ...
