Uncovering Hidden Massive Black Hole Companions with Tidal Disruption Events [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dynamical perturbations from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries can increase the rates of tidal disruption events (TDEs). However, most previous work focuses on TDEs from the heavier black hole in the SMBH binary (SMBHB) system.

A Mildly Relativistic Outflow Launched Two Years after Disruption in Tidal Disruption Event AT2018hyz [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We present late-time radio/millimeter (as well as optical/UV and X-ray) detections of tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2018hyz, spanning 970–1300 d after optical discovery.

The maximum mass of a black hole which can tidally disrupt a star: Measuring black hole spins with tidal disruption events [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 The tidal acceleration experienced by an object at the event horizon of a black hole decreases as one over the square of the black hole’s mass. As such there is a maximum mass at which a black hole can tidally disrupt an object outside of its event ...

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.

First tidal disruption events discovered by SRG/eROSITA: X-ray/optical properties and X-ray luminosity function at z < 0.6 [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 We present the first sample of tidal disruption events (TDEs) discovered during the SRG all-sky survey. These 13 events were selected among X-ray transients detected in the 0 < l < 180○ hemisphere by eROSITA during its second sky survey (10 June–14 ...

Multi-messenger observations of Tidal Disruption Events [PDF]
, 2023 Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and other observatories, we have identified three candidate Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) in spatial and temporal coincidence with high-energy neutrinos detected by IceCube: AT2019dsg, AT2019fdr and AT2019aalc ...

Possible X-Ray Quasi-periodic Eruptions in a Tidal Disruption Event Candidate [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 X-ray quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are a recently discovered phenomenon associated with supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies. They are high-amplitude soft X-ray flares that recur on timescales of hours, but what causes these flares ...

Dynamical Unification of Tidal Disruption Events [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 The ∼100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) observed so far exhibit a wide range of emission properties both at peak and over their lifetimes. Some TDEs radiate predominantly at X-ray energies, while others radiate chiefly at UV and optical wavelengths ...

Live to Die Another Day: The Rebrightening of AT 2018fyk as a Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 Stars that interact with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can be either completely or partially destroyed by tides. In a partial tidal disruption event (TDE), the high-density core of the star remains intact, and the low-density outer envelope of the ...

Challenges in the modeling of tidal disruption events lightcurves [PDF]
, 2012 In this contribution, I review the recent developments on the modeling of the lightcurve of tidal disruption events. Our understanding has evolved significantly from the earlier seminal results that imply a simple power-law decay of the bolometric light ...
