Revisit the Rate of Tidal Disruption Events: The Role of the Partial Tidal Disruption Event [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Tidal disruption of stars in dense nuclear star clusters containing supermassive central black holes (SMBH) is modeled by high-accuracy direct N-body simulation. Stars getting too close to the SMBH are tidally disrupted, and a tidal disruption event (TDE)

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 ...

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).

Tidal Disruption Event Demographics with the Zwicky Transient Facility: Volumetric Rates, Luminosity Function, and Implications for the Local Black Hole Mass Function [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We conduct a systematic tidal disruption event (TDE) demographics analysis using the largest sample of optically selected TDEs. A flux-limited, spectroscopically complete sample of 33 TDEs is constructed using the Zwicky Transient Facility over 3 yr ...

The rebrightening of a ROSAT-selected tidal disruption event: repeated weak partial disruption flares from a quiescent galaxy? [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 The ROSAT-selected tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate RX J133157.6-324319.7 (J1331), was detected in 1993 as a bright (0.2–2 keV flux of (1.0 ± 0.1) × 10−12 erg s−1 cm−2), ultra-soft (kT = 0.11 ± 0.03 keV) X-ray flare from a quiescent galaxy (z = 0.

Tormund's return: Hints of quasi-periodic eruption features from a recent optical tidal disruption event [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are repeating thermal X-ray bursts associated with accreting massive black holes, the precise underlying physical mechanisms of which are still unclear.

Nitrogen enhancements 440 Myr after the Big Bang: super-solar N/O, a tidal disruption event or a dense stellar cluster in GN-z11? [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 Recent observations of GN-z11 with JWST/NIRSpec revealed numerous oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and helium emission lines at z = 10.6. Using the measured line fluxes, we derive abundance ratios of individual elements within the interstellar medium (ISM) of

A radio-emitting outflow produced by the tidal disruption event AT2020vwl [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star is destroyed by a supermassive black hole. Broadband radio spectral observations of TDEs trace the emission from any outflows or jets that are ejected from the vicinity of the supermassive black hole ...
